Job demand for digital accessibility testers has doubled in the past two years.

Two big reasons.
1. ADA Title II Compliance Is Coming Fast.
By April 24, 2026, every state and local government must make their websites, PDFs, and digital services accessible.
Agencies are scrambling to meet the new ADA Title II requirements They need trained testers who understand accessibility from experience.

2. Accessibility Software Can’t Do It Alone.
Even the best AI and automated tools only find about 40–45% of accessibility issues.

Real compliance still depends on human testers...especially those who use assistive technology every day. Agree?

That’s why demand for blind accessibility testers is going through the roof.

The Certified AccessAbility Tester (CAT) Program helps blind professionals audit real websites and PDFs... building the human expertise behind digital inclusion.

Most blind job seekers weren’t taught the right things.

They weren’t taught how to use modern workplace applications. They weren’t educated on real world expectations.

And unsurprisingly, they struggle to gain employment.

Does that sound familiar? Well, here’s a tough question. If you started a job tomorrow, could you confidently use Outlook, Excel, and manage your calendar?

Would you feel comfortable using workplace applications like Salesforce or Asana?

Could you confidently use AI to enhance your productivity?

If not, close those gaps, and get job ready with the WRAP.

The WRAP, Workplace Readiness Accelerator Program, is an 8 week, fully remote, instructor led program that prepares you for today’s workplace.

You won’t just sit in class and listen.

You won’t pass just by showing up. You have to earn it.

You’re hands on, learning the tools employers actually expect you to use.

And you’ll earn a certification that proves it.

Are you job ready? If not, it’s time to join the WRAP.

If you thought digital accessibility was hard, then you haven’t needed to make a PDF accessible using Adobe Pro.

Here’s how we helped our Indiana municipal clients achieve PDF accessibility and compliance with the new Title II regulations under the ADA.

$25/hour remote jobs exist.

But not every job is the right fit... and that’s where people get stuck.

Just like the gym:
The best workout isn’t the hardest one.
It’s the one built for you.

Tomorrow’s AMA is about starting with personal assessment, understanding your strengths, work style, and motivation before choosing a job path.

Because the goal isn’t just getting hired.
It’s staying in work you actually enjoy.

How to stand out in 2026, even with less experience?

Most candidates ask about benefits, time off, and breaks.

Exceptional candidates ask questions that show value and impact.

Try questions like:
What is the biggest bottleneck preventing this team from hitting its goals right now?

If I started tomorrow, what problem would you want me to solve in my first 90 days for this hire to be considered a success?

I noticed a competitor recently launched a feature that’s gaining traction. How is your team planning to respond this quarter?

This is the mindset employers are looking for in 2026.

If you’re a blind or low-vision job seeker planning your next move, we’ll go deeper into this in our Career Planning 2026 AMA.
