Understanding Blindness for Successful Employment Outcomes

CCER and the Washington State Department of Services for the Blind (DSB) are partnering to establish a Preferred Provider List of qualified Job Development specialists to work with DSB participants to assist them in achieving successful employment outcomes.   Individual Job Developers will be qualified for the Preferred Provider List (PPL) of vendors with DSB in all areas of the state.  Preferred Providers will be the first choice of referral for DSB participants to Job Development Services.

This one-day training session will assist vendors to understand:

* The wide range of abilities of people with blindness and low vision
* How people are able to work using a variety of strategies and tailored accommodations
* Low and high tech accommodations
* Employer questions and answers

And much....much....more!

Vendors will have a chance to explore everything they wanted to know about blindness, but were afraid to ask.

This session will also focus on methods to establish an effective working relationship between the person with the disability, the DSB counselor, and the vendor in order to maximize the likelihood of getting a job that fits the goals of each.

 Comments from previous participants are saying:

"The presenter, Mark, was great--organized, knowledgeable, and humorous."

"Good videos, good pacing, good variety."

"Great-will tell all my co-workers to sign up in the future!"

"Very helpful--More of the same, please!"

"Thank you for helping to reflect and better meet the needs of our clients."



Session details:

All course materials included
Lunch and morning coffee service provided

Fee: $20 including lunch, materials and breaks
All sessions begin at 9:00 AM and end at 4:30 PM.




Who Should Attend?

This training is for vendors who provide employment services for people with blind or low vision disabilities. Each individual who completes this one day session will receive a certificate of completion from CCER and placed on the Preferred Provider List with DSB. Organizations and individual vendors will also need to meet the basic vendor qualification standards as prescribed by DSB, to be considered a vendor in good standing.
