Overview
One of the key requirements of AODA is ensuring digital documents are accessible to everyone. This means any new PDF has to be designed in keeping with these standards. Additionally, all existing PDFs have to be updated to ensure digital accessibility. This can be time consuming and costly, especially when working with external vendors. That’s why this skillset is in-demand by employers to have in-house. By getting a microcredential in this area, you will not only increase your marketability, but you will also contribute towards a sustainable, digitally-accessible future.
