Establishing a Scalable A11y Education Ecosystem
summary
GitHub builds an in-house accessibility education ecosystem: a live, custom Design Bootcamp (Figma exercises, prerecorded lectures replacing LinkedIn Learning, cohorts of 5 → 20 participants) plus an asynchronous Champions curriculum (videos, exercises, Slack, office hours) that grows from 17 to 52 champions. Outcomes: 9.5× audit issue closure post-rollout, pre/post surveys show 52% voice control confidence, 47% VoiceOver, 40% magnifier, 80% pre‑work completion; bug bashes and monthly Champions Connects sustain hands‑on remediation and scaling.
