Although much progress has been made since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) twenty years ago, Americans with disabilities continue to be employed at a rate far below Americans without disabilities. This month, the Job Seeker's Toolkit was launched on AFB's CareerConnect (www.afb.org/CareerConnect), a free resource for people who want to learn about the range and diversity of jobs performed by adults who are blind or visually impaired throughout the United States and Canada. The Job Seeker' s Toolkit is a free, self-paced online course that allows teens or young adults who are job seekers to travel through the employment process while being guided by specific lessons.
