Understanding Blindness for Successful Employment Outcomes
CCER and the Washington State Department of Services for the Blind (DSB) are partnering to establish a Preferred Provider List of qualified Job Development specialists to work with DSB participants to assist them in achieving successful employment outcomes. Individual Job Developers will be qualified for the Preferred Provider List (PPL) of vendors with DSB in all areas of the state. Preferred Providers will be the first choice of referral for DSB participants to Job Development Services.
These one-day training sessions will assist vendors to understand:
* The wide range of abilities of people with blindness and low vision
* How people are able to work using a variety of strategies and tailored accommodations
* Low and high tech accommodations
* Employer questions and answers
And much....much....more!
Vendors will have a chance to explore everything they wanted to know about blindness, but were afraid to ask.
Sessions will also focus on methods to establish an effective working relationship between the person with the disability, the DSB counselor, and the vendor in order to maximize the likelihood of getting a job that fits the goals of each.
These one day sessions will be repeated at least 6 times in multiple regions of the state.
