A distinctive element of his one-of-a-kind Blind Savvy Strength Training is the real-life opportunity to practice blindness specific nuances and skills introduced by the blind coaches. For example, during the networking workshops, students will mingle with “strangers” and during the Career Explorations, students will have the opportunity to conduct informational interviews as an essential element of job exploration. 

Meaningful practicums such as networking, informational interviews and business dining experiences reinforce skills and build confidence through real life challenges. Through roleplaying, participants learn to discuss their skills and needs, and best practices for requesting accommodation requirements.
