Career Visions is a uniquely tailored program to support participants to develop job readiness skills to enter the workforce.
We're inviting expressions of interest from our blind and low vision community to undertake our program across two intakes between 2025 and 2026 in a safe and supportive environment.
Are you a school leaver looking for your first job? Are you transitioning between industries due to vision loss? Are you a parent returning to work? Or wanting to gain new employability skills to develop your career prospects after having been out of the workforce for some time? This is the program for you!
