Subject: AFB launches Job Seeker's Toolkit

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Although much
progress has been made since the passage of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) twenty years ago, Americans with disabilities
continue to be employed at a rate far below Americans without
disabilities.

This month, the Job Seeker's Toolkit was launched on AFB's CareerConnect
(www.afb.org/CareerConnect), a free resource for people who want to learn
about the range and diversity of jobs performed by adults who are blind or
visually impaired throughout the United States and Canada. The Job Seeker'
s Toolkit is a free, self-paced online course that allows teens or young
adults who are job seekers to travel through the employment process while
being guided by specific lessons.  For more information, go to
http://www.afb.org/Section.asp?SectionID=7&TopicID=209&DocumentID=5319 .
