Insight Training
Practical guidance for supporting blind and partially sighted talent
People who are blind or partially sighted bring strong skills to the workplace, but hiring and onboarding processes are not always designed with their needs in mind. Whether you are an employment service provider, an employer, an HR professional, or a small business owner, having clear information helps create better matches and stronger long-term outcomes.
Insight Training from BALANCE for Blind Adults offers practical, experience-based guidance on accessibility, communication, and workplace expectations—so you can support candidates with confidence.
Insight Training for Employment Service Agencies
Free training that strengthens your client support
Employment Service Agencies play a key role in preparing jobseekers for work. If you don’t work with blind or partially sighted clients often, it can be harder to know what tools to recommend, how to coach effectively, or how to talk to employers about accommodations.
Insight Training makes that process clearer.
Thanks to support from United Way Greater Toronto, Insight Training for Employment Service Agencies is offered at no cost.
You and your team will learn
Accessibility and Assistive Technology Basics
A practical overview of tools and technologies your clients may use, and how they support everyday job tasks.
Coaching Strategies That Improve Outcomes
Ways to help clients identify their strengths, understand their needs, and prepare for interviews and workplace expectations.
