ACCESS TO EDUCATION


COURSES

Courses are offered to blind and visually impaired people to help them enter the job market, whether to work for a company or to open their own business. Students from various states in Brazil participate, since the distance learning format (EaD) allows for the expansion of services beyond the limits of São Paulo.

As part of the process of empowering blind and visually impaired people, the Fundação Dorina offers professional courses in IT, Excel, Massage Therapy, Digital Marketing, Digital Entrepreneurship, Copywriting, Talent Development Workshops and Digital Inclusion Workshops. During the year, 171 students were qualified.

Two English classes were also formed: one for young people, with a focus on the Enem exam, and one for adults, aimed at the job market. The development of a new language is important for students to cross borders and begin communicating with blind and visually impaired people from other parts of the world.


TRAINING CENTER

Fundação Dorina offers courses and training, both in-person and distance learning (EaD), in the area of accessibility. Among the topics, one of the most accessed is Audio Description, which has already been required in various contexts. All courses available on the platform are free for visually impaired people previously registered in our digital library, Dorinateca, which gained a new version in 2023.

In addition, the Foundation’s team also provides customized training in companies, segmented according to the interests of each client.

ACCESS TO WORK


The Employability team has a talent pool made up of blind and visually impaired people who are interested in a job in the job market. Through free courses, lectures and other events, these candidates are prepared for the interview and day-to-day work.

In addition, Employability team also has a registry of companies interested in hiring people with visual impairments. Just as candidates are prepared, companies undergo extensive awareness-raising efforts, so that hiring this group goes beyond the need to comply with the quota law, but has a meaning. The goal is to promote real inclusion, which represents gains for people and companies.
