As workplaces continue to embrace digital working environments, it’s important that they outline, strategize, and implement accessibility practices that account for the diverse needs of their employees. This course helps companies understand accessibility in remote and in-person environments.

Creating accessibility solutions that are wide-ranging, flexible, and adaptable builds a workplace centered around inclusion.
