The document discusses the Royal National Institute of Blind People's (RNIB) pre-employment programme and its experiences in the UK. The RNIB is a leading UK charity for the blind and partially sighted that helps over 2 million people. It delivers employment services and aims to help 500 people into jobs and 750 people retain their jobs annually. The RNIB supported developing a pre-employment programme module to prepare visually impaired jobseekers for employment as part of an EU project. Pilots of the 15-module programme had success in the UK, with many participants gaining employment or further education after being distant from the labor market. The programme will be made available to project partners and further funding will support wider dissemination and translation.
