Within the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) is a provision stating that all
comprehensive American Job Centers (AJCs) and affiliated sites must be
physically and programmatically accessible to individuals with disabilities,
including information and communication technology (ICT) designed, procured,
maintained, and used by AJCs, as outlined in WIOA’s Section 188. For many AJCs,
addressing accessible technology issues may be new territory. With that in
mind, the Partnership on Employment & Accessible Technology (PEAT) and the
LEAD Center worked together to create “American Job Centers and Digital Access:
A Guide to Accessible Information and Communication Technology.” This guide is
designed to promote the importance of ICT accessibility issues and point out
helpful “how to” resources to help AJCs ensure that their ICT is accessible to
and usable by individuals with disabilities. It also includes an Appendix
featuring a glossary of commonly used definitions and acronyms.
