Looking for resources (self.Blind)
submitted by cocoabeautiful
I am looking for classes and courses that are blind user friendly and inexpensive that I can learn skills for employment. Desperately looking for a job but need some marketable skills.

Maybe check out Hadley school for the blind? Allot of people seem to have liked it...
Vocational rehab centers in your area may also be able to help you, or at least refer you.
Regardless, if you just need to get back on your feet, than as long as you live in the US in particular, than the federal government office type jobs are likely going to be the easiest option, since they provide the tech and are under more scrutiny than most to hire disabled employees.

I'd say keep trying, they have allot to offer and a pretty damn good success rate from what I know of.
If there is a lighthouse for the blind nearish to you, maybe that could also be an option? I believe they do some job stuff too.

Hi, many have difficulties with rehab agencies, and they don't receive the services they need. It seems that this may be the case with you. ITS a matter of knowing how to communicate with them, and holding them accountable.
Your rehab agency can be very helpful, as they can pay a vender-service provider to train you in what you are looking for.

If you live in the US, your state should have a department of rehabilitation that can help you with that.

Pretty much anything at this point. Customer service, business administration something along those lines. Social media management. Something lol. I am discouraged.
