Accessibility Statement
WorkInTrades (operated by GoSubmitto Inc.) is committed to improving accessibility and usability for all visitors. We strive to provide an inclusive digital experience where students, young adults, parents, counselors, and educators can readily explore skilled trade careers, wage benchmarks, and vocational training resources.
1. Conformance Baseline
We aim to align our digital experience with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines outline best practices to ensure web content is accessible to people with diverse abilities, including screen-reader users, keyboard-only navigators, and individuals with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive impairments.
2. Key Accessibility Features Implemented
The WorkInTrades platform incorporates accessibility-focused design and technical measures, including:
Interactive controls, trade filter buttons, and navigation links support full keyboard navigation with visible focus rings and a dedicated “Skip to main content” link.
Pages utilize HTML5 landmark elements (<header>, <main>, <footer>, <nav>) and logical heading hierarchies.
The layout adapts responsively to diverse screen sizes and supports browser zoom up to 200% without horizontal clipping or loss of functionality.
Body typography, interactive elements, and occupational data badges are styled to meet or exceed WCAG Level AA contrast ratios.
3. Ongoing Improvement Efforts
Accessibility is an ongoing commitment. As we introduce new career comparison tools, interactive pathway roadmaps, and educational directory features, we continue to test and refine our components for accessibility across modern browsers and assistive technologies.
4. Feedback & Reporting Accessibility Barriers
