Hello,



A few updates from the NRTC:



*Blind & Low Vision Certificate Program for Business Development
Professionals *

The NRTC is pleased to offer a new Blind & Low Vision Certificate Program
for Business Development Professionals. The program was developed based on
a request from VR agencies and is a compilation of five existing NRTC
courses, grouped together to provide foundational information specifically
for business development professionals who do not have experience working
with individuals with blindness and low vision.

The goal of this program is to give experienced business development
professionals a better understanding of blindness and low vision so that
they are able to:

   - Better assist consumers with blindness and low vision to achieve their
   career goals.
   - Communicate with businesses about the capabilities of consumers with
   blindness and low vision.
   - Provide businesses with qualified candidates with vision loss.

Visit our Canvas Catalog page for more information and to register for this
certificate program:
