Being visually impaired should never limit your ambitions. Whatever you want to do, Blind in Business is here to help you achieve it.
Blind in Business was set up in 1992 by three blind graduates who felt that misconceptions about visual impairments were holding them back. Not any more; their record speaks for itself. The graduates went on to become partners in law firms and successful businessmen, and have helped:
- Over 800 visually impaired people into work
- Over 7000 school children given specialist careers and technology training since 2001
- Over 650 training courses and workshops delivered since 2000
Want to get involved? Blind for Business is running a three-day careers event designed to build both networks and confidence for visually impaired students; this is your opportunity to meet some of the most in-demand recruiters and learn from the best on just how to secure your ideal graduate job.
