About the show

The Employment Committee of The American Council of the Blind presents: Let’s Get to Work – a monthly podcast – wherein we interview visually-impaired people with unique career paths. We know about inaccessibility, we have heard all about barriers to employment, we've read the statistics. But what about success? It's alive and well, and comes in all forms! This is a podcast where we celebrate that. Wherever you are on your career path, there is hope. Let's get to work!
