Adults, who have visual impairments, have varied careers, and who better to investigate and share with us about those careers than students who are also blind or visually impaired? The It’s My Job podcast is one of the many fun projects developed for students to practice Expanded Core Curriculum skills.
Episodes of It’s My Job center on interviews between students and adults, discussing student-prepared questions about career, college, independent living, and technology. Each episode is published as a captioned video on Facebook, YouTube, and the Perkins Paths to Technology blog, linking to additional resources for students to learn more about the interviewees. Now, the American Printing House Career Connect is excited to welcome Christine DaLee, CSDB Employability Center teacher, as a collaborator and It’s My Job facilitator. This offers a great workplace opportunity to Jose Gutierrez, student. Past episodes have included student interviewers’ diverse career paths – from marine biology to the music industry, technology, and journalism!
