Learn about the skills needed to lead or contribute to accessibility initiatives for publishers and future opportunities in the field.

It is a legal obligation on a federal level, an ethical consideration to ensure equitable access to information for all, and a way of ensuring your publications reach as wide an audience as possible.
In this Publishing CareerBuilder, we will hear from practitioners of digital accessibility on the skills, experience, and attributes needed to lead or contribute to accessibility efforts for publishers and content creators. We’ll explore full time roles in the field as well as accessibility as an important part of one’s career in publishing. Panelists will discuss leading strategic initiatives in publishing accessibility and future opportunities in the field.
