Testimonials

Hear from our members about their experiences with NSCS.

“You don't realize how important those connections are until you get out in the real world. That's when your fellow NSCS members are getting jobs, some at places you may want to work at. The job market isn't what it used to be and I know for a fact I wouldn't have the job I have right now if it weren't for NSCS!”

NSCS is a great way to make connections with people who have vision. However, to make those connections you often have to look for them since NSCS’s presence isn’t always prominent. Other than that, anyone who has the eligibility should join!
