e-Learning Courses - Building an Accessible Culture

The project is to develop two e-Learning/online training programs which would be made availble on the company's website, online courses platforms, and potential partners. The training programs include: 1) Digital Accessibility and 2) Planning and Executing Accessible Online and In-person Events.It is important for events to be accessible and accommodating for people with disabilities. They should always be part of the process and have the opportunity to participate. Products and services are NOT fully complete and equal until everyone can access them with no limitations -- whether the disability is visible or invisible.Over 15% of the world's population -- over 2 billion people -- have one or more disabilities (WHO, 2021).A core mantra of the (global) disability movement is "Nothing about us without us".
