[Trainer-talk] New to the field - Resources for learning?

[Dean Martineau via Trainer-talk]

It's a little hard to imagine that you will get far with apparently no
knowledge of JAWS, even though some are jumping off that bandwagon because
of its cost.  If you want to expand your capability to train, learning the
material on the Freedom Scientific training page would be a good beginning.

Hello there,

I'm new to this list and new to AT training. I actually didn't set out to do
any kind of training (AT or otherwise), but while at home and looking for
work an opportunity fell into my lap and here I am. I am a ZoomText user
full time and a Window Eyes/NVDA user part time. I am currently working on
contract to train some parts of MS Office 2013 and Windows 7 with ZoomText,
but I've been told there may be other assignments made available to me in
the future if I want them. So.that said, I want to look into the AT training
and Accessibility field more to determine if I want to go farther. I have a
B.A. in Communication and a Master's in Public Health - so for the most part
I feel like a fish out of water. I do enjoy the teaching and presenting part
of training so far and I have very good face-to-face and online
communication skills. I'm hoping you all can share with me resources that I
can check out to learn more about AT training - what it is exactly, industry
trends, job outlook, etc. I look forward to the discovery process. 

Thanks in advance!

Melanie
