EVENTS AT BLIND IN BUSINESS

 

At Blind in Business, we have lots of exciting events coming up that are free to candidates and open for registration. Some are focused on employment, some are for parents, some involve accessible technology and some are a great to meet other candidates and enjoy a drink J

Speed Recruitment is a one day event which allows undergraduate and graduate candidates to partake in a Speed Dating style set of interviews with various employers. Each candidate gets 10 minutes to not only be interviewed but to ask the employer questions themselves. The next Speed Recruitment events are in Glasgow and London (please see below for details.)

Education 2 Employment is an annual residential event, where 20 undergraduate and graduate candidates are selected to attend. The first day consists of workshops and a networking lunch followed by 2 mock interviews with 20 different employers. The second day, the candidates are taken water skiing to put them out of their comfort zone and ultimately boost their confidence.

Places are now open for E2E 2013 for the 24th -26th July so if you are interested in coming along or you want to find out more than email Justin@blindinbusiness.org.uk

The Parent’s Workshop is hosted by Dan Mitchell who invites a variety of different role models to speak to parents or young people with visual impairments. From lawyers, to graduates, people who have been travelling and other visually impaired people in employment, they all share their stories and help reassure parents and young people that there are still plenty of opportunities and careers for them to fulfil regardless of their visual impairment.

The next Parents Workshop is on Tuesday 11^th December 2012 at the Blind in Business offices in London. It is free. To register your attendance or for more information please email dan@blindinbusiness.org.uk

Alongside our employment events we are also hosting Technology Clinics with Sight and Sound Technology. These are tailored towards Parents, those in Education, one for Employers and those who are in employment. Staff from Sight and Sound Technology will be demonstrating how accessible technology can be and the difference it will make in the workplace, school and the home.

If you would like to come along and try out different technology or more information on the clinics, please email media@blindinbusiness.org.uk
