The National Research & Training Center on Blindness & Low Vision (NRTC) has a NEW training: Improving Business Development Skills: A Training for Rehabilitation Professionals. This free, online course provides the opportunity for participants to earn up to 17.25 CRC credits. The following is a description of the training: Most vocational rehabilitation (VR) counselors and other professionals are expected to work with businesses as part of their jobs, yet many are not comfortable with this activity or do not have the knowledge or skills needed to be successful at business development. This course was created to address these problems and improve knowledge and skills related to engaging with employers. Business development is more of an art than a science, but some specific methods can be used to provide structure to this activity and help people learn how to be successful at it. The course consists of 26 modules broken into five major sections, plus a resources section. The training and more information can be accessed on our course page: www.ntac.blind.msstate.edu/courses/. Please share this information with anyone who may be interested in the training. If you need any other information, contact Emily Damm (edamm@colled.msstate.edu).
