Services

Support Groups

Blind and visually impaired people and their families and friends gather together to share stories, network with other people in their community and listen to speakers talk about issues of the blind. Topics are determined by the group attendees with the facilitator. The get-togethers run two hours, and food and drinks are always served. Each group is placed in an area of need to the community. Meetings are on the same day each month unless otherwise indicated by holiday or facility schedule.

Job Readiness Training

Our Job Readiness Training program (JRT) teaches a six-part program, which includes personal and socialization skills, resume and cover-letter writing, application training, job seeking skills, interviewing skills and job retention. Upon completion of the 20-hour program, the student can demonstrate the necessary skills to find work in an area of their expertise. This program is the groundwork to our job placement services. Many students continue with the job placement at the end of Job Readiness Training.

Job Placement Services

Blind Ambitions Groups Job Placement services is  a service to assist the consumer to use their skills to find jobs and help the consumer with advocacy, education of the potential employers and assists them in after-employment follow up.
