Digital Accessibility Trainer​/Instructor

Digital Accessibility Trainer / Instructor

Promet Source is seeking a contract Digital Accessibility Trainer to deliver instructor‑led and self‑paced training programs that prepare client staff to create, publish, and maintain accessible digital content in compliance with ADA Title II and WCAG 2.1 Level AA. The role is multi‑client, ongoing, and may involve simultaneous engagements across state, local government, and public‑sector organizations.

The trainer will deliver a comprehensive curriculum spanning accessible Word documents, PDF forms and documents, HTML web content, social media, multimedia and captioning, accessibility testing, vendor procurement, and governance. Audiences include content editors, web developers, communications staff, administrative personnel, department managers, and executive leadership.

Each engagement will be scoped and customized by Promet’s accessibility and account management team in collaboration with the trainer. The trainer is expected to adapt Promet’s base curriculum to each client’s CMS platform, document workflows, organizational structure, and regulatory timeline while maintaining consistent quality and brand standards.

• Deliver Promet’s Digital Accessibility Training Curriculum to client staff through instructor‑led sessions (in‑person at client facilities and/or live virtual), covering modules on foundations, Word, PDF, HTML, social media, multimedia, testing, procurement, and governance.
• Adapt delivery to each client’s audience: hands‑on workshops for content editors and developers, executive briefings for leadership, and role‑specific deep dives for specialized staff.
• Customize training examples using each client’s actual web pages, documents, forms, CMS, and social media accounts.
• Conduct live demonstrations of assistive technology (screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification) to show participants how people with disabilities experience their content.
• Administer module‑level knowledge checks and practical assessments to verify applied competency.
• Manage training logistics in coordination with Promet’s account management team, including scheduling across client departments, room/platform setup, and materials distribution.

• Contribute to the ongoing development and refinement of Promet’s reusable training curriculum based on field experience, participant feedback, and evolving standards and regulations.
• Develop and maintain supplemental materials: recorded video walkthroughs, step‑by‑step job aids, quick‑reference cards, and practice exercises for self‑paced learning.
• Create client‑specific customizations (branded slide decks, exercises using client content, CMS‑specific instructions) that can be templated for efficiency across similar engagements.
• Document lessons learned and reusable patterns from each engagement to improve delivery quality for future clients.
• Stay current with WCAG updates, DOJ guidance, assistive technology releases, and platform accessibility feature changes, and incorporate updates into curriculum materials.

• Accessible Microsoft Word documents: built‑in styles, heading hierarchy, alt text, table structure, link text, color contrast, Accessibility Checker, and export to tagged PDF.
• Accessible PDF creation and remediation:
  Adobe Acrobat Pro tagging, reading order, form field labeling, tab order, tooltips, bookmarks, and validation against WCAG criteria.
• Accessible HTML content: semantic structure, ARIA, keyboard and focus management, forms and error handling, color contrast, media alternatives, reflow, and text spacing.
• Accessible social media: platform‑native alt text, Camel Case hashtags, caption requirements, accessible graphics, and plain‑language practices.
• Accessible multimedia: captioning workflows, transcript creation, audio description, SRT/VTT files, and accessible virtual meeting practices.
• Accessibility testing: automated scanners (axe, WAVE, Lighthouse), manual keyboard testing, screen reader spot‑checking (NVDA, Voice Over), color contrast tools, and document checkers.
