It's a shame you don't live another 10 miles south, because I actually know the person in Hertfordshire who is responsible for helping people with disabilities get qualifications and jobs.

There must be an equivalent in Bedfordshire.
I suspect that anything I do will require re-trainig / qualifications. Except perhaps something involving M$ office as I can now use my PC without problems with the right software.

There are people (Non job centre) here that can help but the problem is nailing down exactly what it is I want to do. I still build / repair PC's but as I do it by touch I guess it's a problem for some people. Not people I know who don't care about that as long as it's all working when I'm done.

Thus far when I go for interviews you can see they have a problem with my cane.

So I need a 'hook' / something really good to offer them so they can move past what they see as the problem.
