Digital Accessibility is an important part of ADA compliance but for businesses in Connecticut facing a shortage of workers, we cannot afford to turn away qualified job seekers with disabilities.
Our businesses have learned the value of tapping into this hidden talent pool of qualified job seekers. In order to attract these qualified job seekers, it is important that our websites and other digital applications are accessible.
Most businesses reside in both the physical and digital or online space. Digital Accessibility addresses access for people with disabilities to our digital or online space.
- Does the accessibility of your website, online job application process and other public facing digital applications reflective of your commitment to Disability Inclusion?
- How can we ensure that we are opening our “digital doors” to people with disabilities who want to work for and do business with us?
Your website and other digital outreach to job seekers and customers represent that important first impression of your business.
One of the most important ways to attract qualified job seekers and customers with disabilities is implementing Digital Accessibility to make your website and job application process accessible to qualified job seekers with disabilities.
Digital accessibility addresses the steps you need to take to ensure that your website and all of your digital applications are readily available to customers, job applicants and employees with disabilities.
Jeff Wissel, Chief Accessibility Officer at Disability: IN will address what you need to know about implementing Digital Accessibility at your business so that you can create a truly disability inclusive workplace.
Jeff will address:
- What is “Digital Accessibility”?
- The ADA and Digital Accessibility
- Why Digital Accessibility is a mandatory part of a Disability Inclusive workplace.
- Who needs digital applications to be accessible?
- How can we ensure that our website and job application process are accessible?
- Digital Accessibility and job accommodations.
We look forward to seeing you for this important webinar.
