Summary
Inclusive training requires accessible, plain-language learning materials delivered in multiple formats and languages. Training should include general information about standards development and accessibility as well as specific information based on the technical committee and the individual’s role.
Why is this important?
Both new participants and the organization’s staff benefit from knowledge building and ongoing accessibility training which helps ensure that everyone can contribute meaningfully, regardless of initial knowledge or experience. When the process feels less overwhelming, people are more likely to contribute confidently and keep taking part in standards development.
