Help Create Jobs and Improve Web Access for People With Disabilities

Minneapolis, Minnesota

Cause Description:
Web accessibility allows people with disabilities to use the Web. It is a simple statement, but one with profound implications. People with visual, hearing, motor skill, and cognitive disabilities may interact with the Internet and electronic documents in different ways. Regardless of how people interact with the Internet, the goal is the same: equal access to equal information. WeCo, a mission based, for-profit company, is comprised of employees and contract workers (Certified Test Consultants – CTCs) all of whom have disabilities. WeCo trains the Certified Test Consultants, not just to deliver powerful user-experience testing services to our clients, but to help them develop as confident, effective professionals. WeCo has launched a crowd fundraising campaign to raise operational funding to keep growing until our client base can build and our product concept catches on.
