Accessibility Statement
Updated: November 2024
Skillable is fully committed to inclusion of its customers with disabilities. We have taken proactive steps designed to ensure that our platform adheres to the standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 level AA via a third-party audit and internal training. By redesigning our existing content with these guidelines in mind and making continuous and conscious improvements to our future product features, Skillable is proud to feature content that is accessible to users of diverse abilities. This includes alternative text for images, appropriately labeled tables, clear heading structures, and good color contrast, among other crucial accessibility considerations.
Our accessibility initiatives.
Skillable’s platform has undergone accessibility audits by a third-party accessibility consulting firm Accessibility Partners. This company used a three-prong approach to testing: skilled accessibility testers with and without disabilities, coupled with assistive technologies, and accessibility testing tools.
To ensure that Skillable received the most accurate results with respect to accessibility, Accessibility Partners’ test engineers used a process that leverages the right combination of testers and assistive technologies to emulate the experience of many users with disabilities.
The testing team (both with and without disabilities) executed WCAG 2.2 AA diagnostic testing on Skillable’s customer-facing products . To achieve this, the Accessibility Partners’ team utilized assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnification, and voice recognition software to evaluate and recommended technology solutions from the actual perspective of those with disabilities.
Based on Accessibility Partners’ results, we have implemented their recommendations to further increase the accessibility of our platform’s experience.
