Inclusive access
Accessibility
Career information is only useful when people can actually use it. TalentAid aims to make its core navigation, career data and planning tools understandable and operable across devices and a range of access needs.

We explain what TalentAid does, what it does not do, and where you should verify an important decision with an official source.
Accessibility is treated as a product requirement, not a decorative statement.
We aim toward WCAG 2.2 Level AA practices but do not claim a formal conformance audit that has not occurred.
Core information should remain usable without relying on colour alone or precise pointer input.
Our accessibility target
TalentAid uses WCAG 2.2 Level AA as a design and engineering target for the public experience. That target guides ongoing work around keyboard access, focus, semantics, contrast, responsive layouts, text alternatives and understandable interactions.
TalentAid has not represented this page as a third-party certification or completed conformance audit. Accessibility is an ongoing quality process, and real-world testing matters alongside automated checks.
Keyboard and navigation
- Interactive controls should be reachable and usable without a mouse where the underlying component supports keyboard operation.
- Visible focus states should help users understand where keyboard interaction is occurring.
- Navigation labels should describe destinations rather than rely only on icons.
- Dialog and preference controls should expose meaningful labels to assistive technology.
Readable content
TalentAid uses headings, short sections, descriptive link text, plain-language summaries and consistent cards to reduce cognitive load. Important requirements should not be communicated by colour alone. Tables should include meaningful headings and remain horizontally scrollable on smaller screens rather than becoming unreadable.
Responsive and adaptable layouts
The public site is designed for desktop and mobile use. Content should reflow at smaller widths, support browser zoom, and avoid fixed layouts that make essential information inaccessible when text is enlarged.
Motion, media and sensory access
TalentAid should avoid unnecessary motion that blocks understanding. Where meaningful non-text media is introduced, equivalent text or another accessible alternative should be provided. Audio should not be required to understand core career information unless an equivalent alternative is available.
Continuous improvement
New features can introduce accessibility regressions even when the rest of the site is well designed. TalentAid should include keyboard, responsive, semantic and contrast checks in release quality assurance and periodically conduct manual testing with assistive technologies.
A dedicated public feedback contact still needs to be configured. TalentAid should publish one before final launch so users can report accessibility barriers directly.
