by Hadley Institute for the Blind and Visually Impaired
Founded in 1920, Hadley is the largest worldwide provider of distance education for people who are blind or have low vision. The Forsythe Center for Employment and Entrepreneurship (FCE) is a dedicated programme within Hadley's Adult Continuing Education offering, designed to address the persistently high un- and underemployment rate in the blind and visually impaired community.
Courses cover business fundamentals, communications, computer skills, marketing, accounting, legal considerations for self-employment, and Social Security work incentives. All instruction is delivered online with fully screen-reader-compatible materials and is available at any time from anywhere. Courses are free for individuals who are blind, have low vision, or are DeafBlind, and for their immediate family members; sighted professionals may enrol at a modest fee.
Adults who are blind, have low vision, or are DeafBlind and want to enter, re-enter, or advance in the workforce, or launch a self-employment venture.
