LightHouse Earned the 2022 Employment Growth Award from National Industries for the Blind

It was recently announced that LightHouse was honored by National Industries for the Blind (NIB), the nation’s largest employment resource for people who are blind, with the 2022 Employment Growth Award. This award recognizes LightHouse’s efforts to increase employment retention and growth for people who are blind, have low vision or are Deafblind.
 
We are especially proud of winning this award as it spotlights one of our key goals in the LightHouse mission—to empower the blind community and support them in leading independent and self-sufficient lives. Through services like the LightHouse Employment Immersion Program, we have helped hundreds of blind and low vision individuals find employment—many of whom have ended up as part of the LightHouse family at our state-of-the-art Sirkin Center.
 
“We are proud to provide employment opportunities for people who are blind at our Sirkin Center in Alameda, California” stated agency CEO, Sharon Giovinazzo.
 
“Congratulations to the San Francisco LightHouse for receiving NIB’s Employment Growth Award,” said NIB President and CEO Kevin Lynch.  “The LightHouse continues to do an outstanding job of creating rewarding career opportunities for people who are blind, in greater the San Francisco Bay Area.”
