The National Research and Training Center on Blindness and Low Vision (NRTC) is recruiting for a job search skills research study!
This study will help us evaluate a job search skills training program with adults who are blind or have low vision (B/LV).
This study involves:
- Taking four online surveys over a 2-year period
- Submitting a resume with the first two surveys
- Being randomly assigned to receive written materials or participate in group training
Participation may include:
- Receiving resources and information about job search skills
- Attending a 5-day virtual group job search skills training program
- Providing feedback about the program
We will use what we learn from this study to determine if job search skills training leads to better employment outcomes for B/LV job seekers.
We will be recruiting individuals with blindness or low vision (age 18+) who are not employed but interested in working to be a part of this study. Individuals interested in participating can complete our survey to find out if they qualify.
