BBC Radio 4 - In Touch, Job Prospects

A special programme looks at careers for young blind and visually impaired people.

There used to be a specific list of jobs deemed "suitable" for blind people. Peter White talks to Fern Lulham, John Lynch and Jess Clements about entering the new world of work.

In a special focusing on careers and the job market for blind and visually impaired people, we hear from young people first entering the world of work. Reporter Fern Lulham gives us her insights, and Jess Clements, workplace co-ordinator at Blind in Business, tells us about how attitudes to the workplace and the horizons of young blind people are changing. John Lynch from the Royal National College for the Blind tells us about their work and changes to the DWP system for helping VI people find a job.
Presented by Peter White
Produced by Kevin Core
