Hi, as you know, from time to time I get new information forwarded to me that
highlights resources that are local, regional or national. I received the
below email from the Mississippi State University National Research and
Training Center on Blindness and Low Vision that might be of interest.
Good afternoon!
The NRTC has several new resources that may be of interest to you!
1. The fifth episode of the NRTC podcast, Employment Insights, is now
available! Our guest for this episode shares her employment journey of starting
over in her career, tips on how she discloses her vision impairment, and how
mentors have helped her along the way. Listen now on our Webinars and Podcasts
