Synopsis

There's an app for almost anything, so why not for Workbridge too?   Jonathan Mosen speaks with Workbridge's General Manager for Information Technology, Phil Hendry, about some big changes being implemented that will give you more choice over the way you receive services.   Many jobs are now advertised online exclusively, and IT skills are critical for many jobs, yet the cost of this technology can put it out of reach for many. Phil tells us about the free public Wi-Fi now rolling out at all 22 Workbridge centres along with the introduction of new computers for all our customers to use for job-search-related tasks.   These computers are fully accessible to people who are blind or have low vision thanks to a donation from Freedom Scientific, a division of Vispero, and it's New Zealand distributor Pacific Vision.   Fusion offers the industry-leading ZoomText magnification for those with low vision, and JAWS, the world's leading screen reading software.   Barry Burgess from Pacific Vision joins Jonathan to talk
