[Mn-abs] Where the Blind Work

[David Andrews]

"Where the Blind Work," the new NFB employment resource site is up in a trial version and can be viewed at the following web address-
<http://thoughtprovoker.info/>http://thoughtprovoker.info 
 
Below is the current list of employment descriptions that are available to be viewed.  We need more, many more!  We the blind are out there working in a great variety of careers and jobs and need to show to the rest of the world what we are capable of and especially the potential for what we can do beyond where we presently are working.  So we need to collect and display our accomplishments in order to educate and promote further employment opportunities within our own minds and within the minds of employers; all to change what it means to be blind.
 
Please go view the site, fill out an employment description form and send it in.
