Q: For someone who just graduates from MSc, what is the starting point to get an entry level job in this sector?
Robin: There are no specific qualifications required to work in accessibility – although there are world-recognised certifications from the International Association of Accessibility Professionals - so starting with qualifications in IT/design/coding etc is a good place to start. Any experience you have of accessibility standards and inclusive projects you can show would also be invaluable.

Robin: See above. Get qualifications from the IAAP and immerse yourself in the guidelines and learn to build accessible projects.
