Hi everyone. I’m new to the APH Hive, so my apologies in advance if this isn’t the proper place for what I’m about to say. I’m not a professional in the field, but I’m wondering if I can take any of the Hive courses. I have been blind since birth, and I’m specifically thinking about taking the career-related courses here and/or at CareerConnect. I attempted to register for the Job Seekers’ Toolkit, but the CAPTCHA checkbox didn’t work properly using VoiceOver on my Mac. I filled out the NSITE contact form and am waiting to hear back from them, but figured in the meantime that I’d try filling out the registration form using Safari on my iPhone or Chrome on my Mac. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
