Hello all,
I am writing to you all to make you aware of a forthcoming RNIB conference
on work placements for students with disabilities. The day will cover work
experience placements and year abroad studies for students with a variety of
disabilities, not just visual impairments. Please see below for further
details and a booking form. I would be really grateful if you could pass
this information on to as many people as possible. Application forms should
be returned to the address stated below rather than this email address.
I hope to see some of you there.
Regards
Elvira Haeussler
