There are over one billion Windows 10 users, and one million companies use Office 365 worldwide. Thanks to accessibility features people who are blind or visually impaired make up a small portion of those numbers, but not near enough. In partnership with National Industries for the Blind (NIB) and NSITE, the East Texas Lighthouse in Tyler, Texas, has been working to help increase employability among this population with a oneof-a-kind Microsoft Office training program designed to level the playing field, fill the gaps, and ensure those with vision loss can keep pace with the demands of the modern office. The ProMOTE Program is a 120-hour intense, immersive course combining assistive technology like screen readers and magnification software with Windows and MOS to prepare graduates to compete among sighted peers for career opportunities and advancements.
