Accessibility Statement

Careers with Purpose is committed to providing a website that is accessible to everyone. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to Universal Design principles and version 2.1 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Measures to Support Accessibility

We take the following measures to ensure accessibility of the Careers with Purpose website:

  • Include accessibility as part of our mission statement.
  • Include accessibility throughout our internal policies.
  • Integrate accessibility into our procurement practices.
  • Appoint an accessibility officer and/or ombudsperson.
  • Provide continual accessibility training for our staff.
  • Assign clear accessibility goals and responsibilities.
  • Employ formal accessibility quality assurance methods.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Careers with Purpose is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level A. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

WCAG is developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an international community that develops open standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web. WCAG 2.1 applies broadly to various current and future Web technologies and is testable with a combination of automated testing and human evaluation.

Compatibility with Browsers and Assistive Technology

The Careers with Purpose website is not compatible with:

  • Browsers older than 3 major versions
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer
  • Mobile operating systems older than 3 years

These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.

Assessment Approach

We assess the accessibility of the Careers with Purpose website through ongoing research and external evaluations and implement accessibility improvements accordingly. We have employed experts proficient in accessible web design and development practices to conduct automated and manual testing methods. The last automated accessibility scan was performed using the ARC Analytics Platform on June 13, 2024. Updates to the content management system, its plugins, and/or website content proceeding this date have the potential to affect the level of compliance reached.
