Three days. Real technology. Real challenges. Discover how accessible tech is changing lives.
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to work for a company creating technology that helps blind and partially sighted people access the digital world?
This October, BiB and Dolphin Computer Access are inviting you behind the scenes for three exciting days of virtual work experience.
You’ll meet the people behind the business, explore careers in accessible technology and get involved in interactive activities based on real workplace challenges.
Whether you’re interested in technology, thinking about your future career or just fancy trying something new, it’s a great chance to build your confidence, meet other young people with sight loss and experience the world of work in a fun, supportive and fully accessible environment.
