Digital Accessibility is a Federal Requirement
Because it’s federal law that our digital content be accessible to individuals with disabilities, the Office of Information Technology has created training courses and webinars to help you implement necessary changes in your digital communications.
Training Opportunities
Training webinars and courses are open to all CAES and UGA Extension personnel.
