User guides

We are aware that it’s hard to find sites or tools for job seeking especially adapted for blind and visually impaired people (VIP) on the Internet. Even in articles written by people working for associations helping VIP, most of the references are to generalist apps and websites. VIPTechJob Web App ( https://webapp.viptechjob.eu ) enable users to share and view contents related to job opportunities suitable for blind or visually impaired people, in an accessible way.

Besides, blind, or visually impaired people, can share job opportunities they consider interesting for the rest of the users as well; and of course, they can submit their job applications in a quick, accessible, and easy way.

Companies are invited to publish their job vacancies, to receive job applications and to look up the best candidate among the CVs uploaded onto the Web App.

VIPTechJob Web App is one of the tools developed under the project VIPTechJob: Easy access to job market and is also connected to the products developed within VIPTechJob: Time to act!
