Listen Later

Most people don’t know that there’s a 70% chance you do not have a job if you have a disability or are visually impaired.

In this episode, Jimm Cobb, Vice President for New Business Development at Chicago Lighthouse for the Blind, sheds light on their impactful work in supporting the blind, visually impaired, veterans, and those with disabilities. Chicago Lighthouse offers a range of social work programs, including early childhood support, a K-12 school, and a unique factory where visually impaired or blind individuals craft designer clocks. In this conversation, Jimm shares some insights regarding the limitations of AI in comparison to the irreplaceable human touch, as Chicago Lighthouse's visually impaired staff are doing an excellent job in contact centers, proving that people are crucial in this work. He also emphasizes the organization's mission-driven approach and invites engagement through LighthouseEnterprises.org for those interested in their healthcare administrative services. 

Tune in to discover how the Chicago Lighthouse for the Blind combines mission-driven goals with innovative solutions in the healthcare ecosystem!
