Skills and Training

Objectives

The focus of the CCB is on CAPABILITY and not disability. The purpose of this program is to establish financial independence and thus individual empowerment for CCB members.

The advent and continuous improvement in computer technology means unprecedented access for the blind and visually impaired in the work force.

Training leads to the acquisition of skills and can translate to employment (T+S=E).  However, it must be emphasized that the program does not preclude members who simply want to attain skills to improve their daily lives and employment is not necessarily the ultimate objective.


Program

This program offers three components for members:

A. Training

  • To identify existing programs that offer training particularly in relation to computer skills

  • To actively assist the member in the process to obtain and to conclude gainful employment
