Job Readiness Training, part of The Ready to Work program at Lighthouse of Broward, helps Lighthouse clients obtain employment and educational opportunities the same as their sighted peers. Our Job Readiness instructor guides students through complex topics such as creating a dynamic resume, writing compelling cover letters, preparing for interviews both in-person and online, mock interviews with executives and professionals, disclosing their disability, and requesting accommodations. Students work individually to master these skills while they build a network of connections and develop transferable skills.
