Technology with a Purpose.

The Job Details are as follows:
This internship is anything but ordinary.

If that’s what you’re looking for, keep reading.

We are looking for a UX Accessibility Intern to join our team from May 19 to August 8.

This is a full-time role during our summer hours, offering a hybrid work environment with three days in-office at our headquarters in Dublin, Ohio.

The intern could expect to sit in on consultations with user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) designers, UX researchers, and the quality assurance (QA) team to ensure that accessibility is embedded into the planning, implementation, and review of user interface updates.

The intern will have the opportunity to improve the accessibility of products used by thousands of library members in over 100 countries.

You'll also participate in a dynamic AI capstone project, exploring innovative solutions and contributing to our AI strategy.

This is your chance to gain hands-on experience and make a meaningful impact!

We are looking for someone with experience in reviewing user interfaces to evaluate their accessibility.

A background in conducting accessibility evaluations or usability research with people who use assistive technology is highly desired but certainly not essential.

If you are an experienced screen reader user, if you rely on magnification, or other assistive technology to interact with computer screens, please apply!

Responsibilities

Intern responsibilities will focus on evaluating OCLC product interfaces’ conformance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, but may also include:


* Involvement in end user research to explore, uncover, and analyze user requirements


* Collaboration with senior user experience designer(s)


* Working with product development, user experience, and user research teams to flag potential accessibility issues  


* Participating in user story reviews to ensure that all aspects of accessibility requirements are identified


* Participation on one or more teams on small to medium sized projects as an accessibility resource.


* Participate in a dynamic AI capstone project, exploring innovative solutions and contributing to our AI strategy.
