Beyond Sight: A BISM Podcast

Our monthly podcast explores unique experiences, insights and visions with BISM leaders, program participants, and special guests.

Inclusivity In Manufacturing

In this month’s episode of Beyond Sight, hosts Qualik Ford and Derique Simon sit down with Sophia Keil, Operations Technology and Process Improvement Engineer, and Shane Jones, Director of Operations, to dig into what inclusivity in manufacturing really means in practice. The conversation looks at how BISM builds workplaces where blind and low-vision employees aren’t just accommodated but central to the operation. Together, they share how improving the production floor opens up meaningful, sustainable employment and moves us all a little further Beyond Sight.
