RNIB courses on sight loss for jobseekers employers
Created: 07/01/2022
News/Events Category: General NewsThe Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) is running a suite of e-learning opportunities which are all free, easy to access and for jobseekers with sight loss, employers and colleagues, and employment professionals whose job involves helping people look for or stay in work.
The RNIB's online jobseeker course has been designed to help people with sight loss decide the next steps to take when thinking about employment, calling on the experience of professional employment advisors to put together top tips for a successful approach to looking for work.
The course has been tested by people with sight loss to make sure it's easy to use, addresses their job search queries and is fully accessible. Participants can choose to do the sections most relevant to themselves, or undertake the whole course, which takes about 50 minutes.

It's a great way to introduce the topic of sight loss and work to your team and takes about an hour to complete. There's also an optional extra course showing you how to guide people with sight loss if they need help to get around.
