Empowering the Blind: A Look Inside Bestwork Industries

iCantCU Podcast

In this episode of iCantCU, I talk about touring Bestwork Industries for the Blind in Cherry Hill, NJ. I learned how the company hires and trains blind people to work in manufacturing, customer service, and other positions in the company. In Just Listen, you'll hear about training from the training room and know what is manufactured and for whom. Think Top Gun!
