Promoting an Accessibility Skillset

In a post on the Partnership on Employment & Accessible Technology's blog titled "Silicon Valley Companies Tout the Value of an Accessibility Skillset to Students," Lauren Rabb, PEAT consultant and liaison to Teach Access, describes her participation in Teach Access's Study Away program in Silicon Valley. Teach Access is an organization that works to promote accessibility knowledge at the higher education level to ensure that current students learn to make technology accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. The Study Away program brought together students from a wide range of majors from four colleges to meet with accessibility teams from companies such as Google, Oath, Adobe, and Facebook. The students also worked collaboratively on teams to solve an accessibility challenge.
