What Blind People Need to Succeed at Work

When starting a new job, you want to know what you’ll need to succeed. If you’re blind, an accessible workplace is essential, but rarely a given. Where does accessibility start in the workplace?

How would it work? Why does it matter? Join Hans and Julia for Episode 6 of the Be My Eyes Podcast to find out!
