Mission

For 75 years, National Industries for the Blind (NIB) has been focused on its mission to enhance opportunities for economic and personal independence of persons who are blind, primarily through creating, sustaining and improving employment. NIB and its network of associated nonprofit agencies nationwide serve as the largest employer of people who are blind by the sale of SKILCRAFT® and other quality products and services to federal customers through the AbilityOne Program.

Despite continued gains in employment, people who are blind remain one of the nation's greatest untapped labor resources. In fact, 70 percent of working-age Americans who are blind are not employed. This statistic fuels NIB's mission to create, sustain and improve employment opportunities for people who are blind.

Today, NIB is not only focused on creating jobs – but on developing careers through challenging, knowledge-based positions in high-energy, quality work environments. NIB works with 91 associated nonprofit agencies based in 35 states at more than 250 locations across the United States and in the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, offering a wide range of career opportunities with no boundaries. NIB mentors and supports its agencies through business development, program management, and marketing and sales.
