Braille Proofreader – Internship/Training Program

trial manuscript will be certified by the Library of Congress.  While
completing coursework the intern will work directly with other
certified proofreaders and shawdow throughout the Braille Print House.

Interns will not receive housing assistance or a food stipend, but will
