<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F3864">This was released at the AFB conference last week. Thought it might be of interest.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For anyone interested in the following as well: Mohawk College (Hamilton Ontario) has permanently cancelled the Accessible Media Production Program which was a graduate certificate that was an intensive, comprehensive 8 month program that
provided career path skills for those wanting to work in the field of digital accessibility. It was a one-of-a-kind graduate certificate.<o:p></o:p></p>

Media Production Program Don’t Stand Up Under Scrutiny – AODA Alliance</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The decision was made without warning or consultation and is devastating for those wanting a career in digital accessibility…and those of us with disabilities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
