Blindconnect.org Flipped Job Fair
Wednesday, May 17, 2023 10am–4pm

Re-entering the workforce — from invisible to unstoppable…

This event is unlike any other job fair you’ve attended.

It is “flipped” because it is designed inclusively with blind and low vision people in mind.

You will want your company associated with this event because you will be helping blind or low vision (BLV) people reenter the workforce. As well, we can help answer questions you have on accessibility in the work place.

This event includes:

Morning panel session #1: Employers talking about what they desire in employees

Morning panel session #2: Blind and low vision participants talking about what they are seeking in employment

Featured speaker: Mariyam Cementwalla, Senior Policy Advisor, US Dept. of State

Catered box lunch outside on a beautiful covered patio

Job fair with room flow so attendees may easily navigate employer tables

Resource booths providing information about local, regional, state-wide and national programs

Smaller rooms and comfortable seating arrangements throughout the area for private discussions

Digital content on website specific to hiring blind and low vision persons

Digital content on website specific to every employer, supporter and resource

Post-event audio and video
