Free Access to Digital Accessibility Courses for People with
Disabilities on
Deque University
May 19, 2016 - Herndon, VA -- In honor of
<http://www.globalaccessibilityawarenessday.org/> Global
Accessibility
Awareness Day 2016, <http://www.deque.com> Deque Systems will
now be
offering their entire curriculum of <http://bit.ly/DequeU-PWD>
Deque
University online courses in web and digital accessibility to
people with
disabilities for free.
Employment for people with disabilities is often a difficult
endeavor. They
face discrimination during the hiring process and barriers to
employment all
along the way, including barriers to acquiring the skills
necessary for
employment.
Meanwhile, the demand for accessibility professionals is greater
than it has
ever been, and people with disabilities have a lot to offer in
this field.
They live the experience, so in many ways they're already
experts, but there
are still technical skills to learn.
Deque's mission is to help achieve digital equality for people
with
disabilities and hopes that making this new initiative will
empower users
with disabilities to become the experts that will teach
businesses and
governments and everyone else who shares the web how to be
accessible.
If you have a disability, you qualify for free access to Deque's
in-depth
web accessibility curriculum for a full year (a value of $315).
The online courses offered include:
* Web Accessibility Fundamentals
* HTML & CSS Accessibility
* ARIA & JavaScript Accessibility
* Mobile Web Accessibility
* IAAP CPACC Certification Preparation Course
* Web Accessibility Testing Techniques
* Testing with Screen Readers
* MS Word Accessibility
* MS PowerPoint Accessibility
* PDF Accessibility

* EPUB Accessibility
And more.
