Accessibility policy for CareerOneStop
CareerOneStop is dedicated to making our websites, documents, and multimedia as usable as possible for all abilities and needs. We are guided by the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level.
Our focus is on creating a digital experience that welcomes and supports all users, including those who rely on assistive technologies, and to ensure our website and other materials are easy to understand for all levels of experience, knowledge, or language skills. We regularly review our website and materials and are making enhancements to provide a more equitable and intuitive experience for everyone, guided by both accessibility standards and universal design principles. To help us with this effort, we collaborate with accessibility experts and value input from the community.
Accessible documents
The documents on our site come in various formats, and we are working to make them as accessible as possible for people who use screen reading software and those with other vision or mobility impairments. While our website primarily contains documents in Adobe Acrobat PDF file format, we also offer some in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. If you don’t have these programs, you can usually download free plug-ins or file viewers online. Please do so at your own discretion and ensure you are downloading from a reputable source.
If you have trouble reading any documents, please email us at info@CareerOneStop.org and we will be happy to send you an alternate version.
Accessible videos
CareerOneStop is committed to making our video content accessible. Our existing videos include closed captions and transcripts. For future video productions, we are actively working towards incorporating audio descriptions. Additionally, videos available on our YouTube channel will be reviewed and improved against the same accessibility standards.
Web browsers
CareerOneStop strives to support a range of modern web browsers, including the latest versions of Chrome, Safari, and Edge. For mobile devices, we currently support Chrome and Safari.
If you are using an unsupported browser or mobile device, you may find that some features do not function, or an application does not load. As an alternative, you may download one of the supported browsers to enjoy our site to the fullest.
