Accessibility Statement

Workforce Advancement Project works to make this site easier to use for members, partners, employers, and community supporters. We aim to provide clear content, readable layouts, keyboard-usable navigation, and mobile-friendly access on slow devices and limited connections.

Last reviewed: May 19, 2026

Our conformance commitment

We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA across both the public marketing site and the member portal. That includes meaningful page structure, descriptive link text, keyboard operability, sufficient color contrast, alternative text for informational images, captions or transcripts for prerecorded media we publish, and form fields with associated labels and error messaging that screen readers can announce.

We test against this target with automated tooling on every pull request and with periodic manual screen-reader review. Where a third-party component or partner system is embedded in our pages, we work with that provider to surface accessibility issues to them and to substitute components when a fix is not available.

Known exceptions we are actively fixing

We track every known accessibility gap. The following items are open as of the last reviewed date above and are on our active burn-down list:

  • A small number of admin-only data tables are rendered as bare HTML tables without full header semantics. These are not member-facing. Tracked in our internal QA queue and being migrated to our standard accessible table component.
  • One marketing image is missing meaningful alternative text and is currently presented as decorative. Replacement copy is queued for the next content review.
  • Some AI-generated outputs (resume drafts, interview feedback) may not yet include landmark structure consistent with the rest of the portal. We are adding semantic wrappers to the AI-tool result views.

If you need help using this site

If you run into a barrier while using WorkforceAP.org — anything that prevents you from completing an application, reading content, or using a tool — please contact us. We will respond within five business days and will do our best to provide the information or support you need in another format while we work on a permanent fix.

Ongoing improvements

We continue improving content clarity, color contrast, tap targets, and responsive behavior across public and member-facing pages. New components ship with an accessibility review checklist; existing surfaces are audited on a rolling basis.

If something is hard to read, navigate, or complete, please tell us. That feedback helps us improve access for the people this work is meant to serve.
