Work Opportunities Unlimited Accessibility Statement

Work Opportunities Unlimited (WOU) is committed to ensuring equal access to our programs, services, and information for all individuals, including people with disabilities. This commitment aligns with our mission: “We create new opportunities for success in the workplace, every day,” and our belief that all people can work.

Commitment to Equal Access

In accordance with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), WOU is committed to providing individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from our services, programs, and activities, including those offered through our website.

We aim to make our website accessible and usable for the widest possible audience by following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as our guiding technical standard.

Accessibility Approach

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We take a continuous improvement approach to identifying and addressing accessibility barriers.

Our efforts include:

  • Incorporating accessibility best practices into website design and development
  • Structuring content to support assistive technologies, including screen readers
  • Providing alternative text for meaningful non-text content
  • Supporting keyboard navigation for key functionality
  • Applying color contrast and readability standards to all content
  • Providing closed captions or transcripts for multimedia content
  • Providing synchronized audio description for prerecorded video content
  • Periodically reviewing and testing our website for accessibility issues

We recognize that accessibility is not a one-time effort. We are committed to ongoing evaluation and improvement of our digital content and website functionality. As part of this process, we:

  • Review new and updated content for accessibility considerations
  • Work to remediate identified accessibility barriers in a timely manner
  • Provide training and resources to staff involved in content creation and website management

Third-Party Content Limitations

Our website may contain links to external websites or third-party content that is not controlled or maintained by Work Opportunities Unlimited. While we strive to provide links to accessible resources, we cannot ensure the accessibility of content provided by third parties.
