How Agents Help Clients

Learning

Statistics show that only 40% of low vision or blind students end up finishing college. After high school, continuing education isn’t always an option for someone who is visually impaired.

Aira takes pride in helping those students get around campus and find classrooms, dorms, teacher offices or whatever else they need.  This helps explorers get through college without the frustration of not being able to get around a large campus!

Job Seeking

Up to 70% of the blind community is currently unemployed. Aira strives to change that. They want to push that 70% down to just 7%! Having Aira at their exposal gives low vision and blind clients assistance completing tasks that will help them land a job. Agents help job seekers with tasks like completing resumes and accessing any additional application forms.

Working

For explorers who do land a job or that are already in a position, the Aira Employer Network is a group that helps employees get tasks done while at work.

Parenting

Tasks like reading or cooking with their children or grandchildren can become a reality with help from Aira agents. Reading is a key thing young children need to learn and agents help walk Explorers follow along with the words. Agents are also happy to snap photos of the grandchildren after they finished mixing the batter for the chocolate chip cookies.

Living

Agents help Explorers with various tasks from helping them find something around the house or picking out groceries out a local store Aira agents are there. Agents can also call rideshare companies for explorers and keep them updated on the driver’s location and other important details.

Becoming an Agent

Becoming an Aira agent takes a special kind of person. Agents have to have a passion for helping others and dedication to their duties. Aira gets hundreds of applications but only select a few applicants to join their remote agent team.

Steps include lots of training, roleplaying, and even an apprenticeship with a veteran agent. The company wants to make sure each agent is equipped and ready to help serve the blind and low vision community.  

The roleplaying before an agent has their first call by themselves can help ready them for a situation they may run into in the future. It may be a little different circumstance, but it helps them get a better idea of what they may encounter.

Agents will have a senior agent listen in from time to time to help offer feedback or give praise on how things are going. The company is always looking to improve and make their agents the best they can be.
