No previous message | Next message →

Hi all,
I need your assistance finding a good job description for this type of
position. The Accessibility Services Coordinator will be someone who will
manage the overall accessibility review, implementation, and guidelines for
an educational institution. I came up with this title but I am not sure if
this is the best possible title. The idea is that this person will become
the leader in our institution understanding what web accessibility is and
promoting best practices across the institution. So I am trying to answer
the following questions:

1. What job titles would make sense for such position?
2. What should be the job responsibility?

If you have a job description similar to this, please feel free to share it.

Thanks,
Giovanni.

Good Afternoon
Our agency was faced with the same question when they created this
position that I am now filling. My job responsibilities are managing
the overall accessibility review, testing and review of all state
agency's for accessibility and compliance. implementation, and
guidelines for accessible e-learning. I hope this helps

If the position is strictly dealing with web accessibility services than
this should be stated in the title. When I first read your title I would
have inferred that this position would deal with all aspects of
accessibility on campus.
