NIB’s award-winning Business Leaders Program (BLP) was launched in 2003 to prepare individuals who are blind for careers in business by providing educational and employment opportunities through professional development.
NSITE has re-imagined the Business Leaders Program and its components for 2023 and beyond. It is designed to meet the needs of leaders at all levels in today’s rapidly changing workplace environments.
These programs are currently in redevelopment for the Business Leaders Program.
Business Management Training
Business Management Training (BMT) is a 15-month program that develops critical business perspective and management abilities.
BMT targets qualified, high-potential employees of NSITE and NIB associated agencies who are blind and demonstrate leadership potential. Throughout the five on-location classroom sessions, participants build critical skills while earning a Certificate in Management.
