PROFESSIONAL MENTORING OPPORTUNITIES FOR BLIND COLLEGE STUDENTS: APPLY

Apply to the Pearson Corporate Disability Mentoring Program, a six-month
program in which sighted Pearson and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) professionals
are paired with blind young adults to provide blind mentees with greater
access to beneficial workplace experiences and strategies. Participants,
through a virtual mentoring relationship with a successful Pearson or GSK
professional, will gain access to invaluable online resources and monthly
trainings to prepare them for success in the working world: 

 	* Acquire knowledge of workplace culture and real world expectations 
 	* Develop strategies for developing career-specific skills 
 	* Gain access to informational interviews 
 	* Receive personalized professional advice and guidance

In addition, the National Federation of the Blind will provide a team of
blind professionals who will be available to answer blindness-related
questions and share lived experiences. 

Applications are open for this new mentoring program between the National
Federation of the Blind, Pearson, and GSK, which expands our career
mentoring program to consist of blind young adults, blind professionals
from the NFB, and sighted professionals from Pearson. 

This has a positive, exponential impact on all participants through the
relationships that are created.
