Trainer Opportunity from Full Circle Computing

Hello. A few days ago I posted a job opportunity from a company called
Full Circle Group, who is looking for an assistive technology trainer
to work with OVR clients. I have no doubt that the offer is legitimate
but I have never heard of Full Circle Group and I must admit that I
was extremely curious about this company. During my 13 years at
Associated Services for the Blind this name never came up. I wondered
if this was a new player in this space and I wanted to see what I
could discover about them.

After doing a bit of searching I did locate a company named Full
Circle Computing, <www.FullCircleComputing.com> located in Exton, PA.
Their handle on Twitter is @fccomputing and the above link will take
you to their Web site. They seem to offer a variety of mainstream
training packages but I could find no reference to anything about
assistive technology. Assuming that this is the same organization who
posted the job listing on Indeed.com I am guessing, perhaps
incorrectly, that they are very new to this space. First, their Web
site, as I mentioned, seems to offer no information regarding
assistive technology training. In addition, the job listing mentions
Screen Power and Window-Eyes. Unless there is a newer product called
Screen Power, this was a screen reader offered by Telesensory, which
no longer exists. Window-Eyes, while a bit more current, ceased
development last year and, while the free version for users of Office
<www.WindoweyesForOffice.com> is still legally available, it is,
essentially, a dead product.

I contacted them via their Facebook page to ask if they were the
organization who posted the job listing and gave them updated info on
Window-Eyes and Screen Power.
