CarrollPrep Weekend Programs for Teens
Weekends Are Meant for Doing Something You Love. Discover What That Is for You.
We understand the importance of finding what drives you and how to utilize those passions to guide your life. As a result, The Carroll Center for the Blind has developed exciting Saturday programs that expose students to a variety of careers while allowing them to engage in activities to prepare them for the workforce of tomorrow. Current statistics indicate that approximately 75% of adults who are legally blind are unemployed. Children who are blind miss the opportunity to observe the world of work as part of their daily lives like their sighted peers do. Structured learning and experience is required to expose them to the skills and tasks that are required in a variety of jobs. Saturday offerings also include preparation for college.
CarrollPrep offers a variety of Saturday programs that provide skill development, opportunities to learn about a variety of technologies, and hands-on experiences in various careers and life events. Courses include guest speakers who are employed, blind or visually-impaired individuals sharing experiences about access and employment in the real world.
