[Rehab] FW: FW: Virtual Career Fair sponsored by Wells-Fargo Tuesday, April 21st

[Dick Davis]

Dear List Members,



Last week I posted a message about the virtual career fair Wells Fargo is
sponsoring and attending. They asked me if someone could evaluate the
accessibility of the online registration.  I had committee member James
Gagnier do so.  His report is below.



Best wishes,

Dick Davis, Chair
NFB Employment Committee



P.S. passed this information on to Wells Fargo and am going to pass this
information on to the organization that is running the career fair, but I
doubt the problem will be addressed before  the fair tomorrow.

Hi Dick,

I was able to register with no problem, however, the second part where one
is supposed to put in their information such as education, is problematic.
Not all the form fields register properly.  I can demonstrate this to you
if you wish, but as it stands, this part isn't accessible.  Labels are
lacking and the logical form layout is hard to understand.  I tried with
the screen readers they suggested, (NVDA and Jaws both the latest version)
and Google Chrome as they recommended.

Unfortunately, the wsecond part of the process is problematic.

James

Good afternoon Dick – I hope you and Pat are staying safe!



I rec’d a call from Monica Victorino at Wells-Fargo this morning.
Wells-Fargo is the lead sponsor of a virtual career fair next Tuesday,
April 21st and she asked if we would send a notification out to our NFB Job
Seeker network. Registration is free, and she tells me the site is
accessible (although she said she would appreciate it if a blind person
could try to register and jump into the pages to confirm this from their
perspective). This is a big event for them – there will be 30 Recruiters
from Wells-Fargo alone!



Here is a link to the web page:

Monica had already heard about the NFB Convention going virtual and is
excited about the possibility of the Employment Committee holding this
year’s Career Fair virtually as well. Both she and Wells-Fargo are
definitely interested and would like to participate if we do the career
fair virtually.
