Columbus, Ohio–The National Federation of the Blind of Ohio (NFB-O) and

Attendees will learn how Ohio’s vocational rehabilitation system can help
them find work, write a resume, benefit from assistive technology, prepare
for in-person and virtual job interviews, and put their best foot forward
in the workplace.

Participants will also hear from public and private employers interested in
hiring individuals who are blind or have low vision. In addition,
presenters will discuss self-employment opportunities. The NFB-O and OOD
recommend that attendees wear professional attire appropriate for
networking with employers. To attend, individuals must register in advance.
