Education & Training
The ADA Coalition and the WVATS Tech Teams are partnering up to participate in a statewide accessibility project. The Coalition will provide on-site training @ each of the seven WVATS Tech Teams sites on how to participate in the Project. All members of the Tech Team and any community members at large who are interested in participating are welcome to attend the training. The campaign will begin in June and end in September, concluding with a conference which will bring all participants together to report their findings and to develop a work-plan for the upcoming Project year.
