- Ensure all training content meets Section 508 / WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards (captioned videos, accessible documents)
Training Delivery
- Deliver instructor-led training on site in Danville and virtually via Microsoft Teams
- Run train-the-trainer sessions so City staff can continue training after the project ends
- Deliver administrator training for City IT staff who will maintain the platform
- Provide floor support during go-live and hypercare
