Getting started begins with clarity. Before you start applying, it helps to understand what you do best, where you want to grow, and how technology and training can help you get there. The world of work is changing quickly, and so are the opportunities available to people who are blind or partially sighted. By understanding your strengths and recognizing that accommodations are tools for success, not limitations, you’ll be ready to move forward on your career path. The first step is understanding your strengths, the tools available to you, and where you want to go next.
