National Industries for the Blind Fellowship for Leadership Development
The Fellowship for Leadership Development is a salaried, two-year track that combines business-focused, on-the-job experience with formal management training. The overall goal of the NIB Fellowship is for successful fellows to land professional and upwardly mobile managerial positions within our network of associated nonprofit businesses and the broader business community.
The new Fellowship cycle will begin September 2010. Legally blind individuals who have an undergraduate degree or higher, work experience, and passion for business are invited to apply. Fellows are selected based on academic achievement, experience, motivation, references and interviews.
Application deadline: April 20, 2010.
Already eight fellows have completed the Fellowship since 2003 and have moved to management jobs, gaining financial independence and, as business leaders, have added value at all levels of the workplace and society. The current four fellows, who will complete in April 2010, are on the path to achieve the same success. NIB expects to see more people who are blind in upper-level management and leadership positions, both within NIB’s network and in the broader business community.
