Type of resource: Toolkit

This resources showcases ways employers can support apprentices who are blind or partially-sighted.
Apprentices who are blind or partially-sighted have the same range of skills and abilities as the population as a whole. However, they also give employers valuable experience in making a range of reasonable adjustments for people who are blind or partially sighted, which will result in their organizations being more accessible in the future. This will send out a clear message that employers are positive, flexible, disability-aware and reflect social diversity.
