Heard & Empowered Philosophy - heardandempowered.org

We’re committed to reducing the unemployment rate among people who are Blind or Low Vision by not just accepting your unique abilities, but by actively seeking and celebrating them. Our mission is to empower you with the tools, insights, and inspiration they need to secure meaningful employment within NIB’s network of agencies or elsewhere through NSITE. Each episode is a stepping stone on your path to a fulfilling career, where your blindness or low vision isn’t just accommodated—it’s championed.
