Accessibility Statement
This Accessibility Statement applies to the website of the Federal Employment Agency published at https://job-futuromat.iab.de.
As a public sector body in the sense of Directive (EU) 2016/2102, we endeavour to make our websites and mobile applications accessible in compliance with the regulations of the national law concerning the equality of the disabled (Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz des Bundes – BGG) and the Regulation on the Accessibility of Information Technology (Barrierefreien-Informationstechnik-Verordnung – BITV 2.0) for the implementation of Directive (EU) 2016/2102.
State of the compliance with the requirements
The accessibility requirements are defined in the BITV 2.0, Section 3, Paragraph 1 to 4, and Section 4, which was enacted on the basis of the BGG, Section 12d.
The verification of compliance with the requirements is based on an independent BITV 2.0 test carried out in December 2020.
As a result of the verification, the website is partly compliant with the above requirements due to the following incompatibilities.
| WCAG 2.1 | Use with impaired sight or without colour perception | Use without sight | Use with impaired handling or strength | Use without or with impaired hearing | Use with cognitive impairments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Text alternatives (1.1) | partly compatible | partly compatible | partly compatible | compatible | partly compatible |
| Time-based media (1.2) | partly compatible | partly compatible | compatible | partly compatible | partly compatible |
| Adaptability (1.3) | partly compatible | partly compatible | partly compatible | compatible | partly compatible |
| Distinguishability (1.4) | partly compatible | partly compatible | compatible | compatible | partly compatible |
| Keyboard accessibility (2.1) | compatible | partly compatible | partly compatible | compatible | compatible |
| Navigability (2.4) | partly compatible | partly compatible | partly compatible | compatible | partly compatible |
| Input modalities (2.5) | compatible | compatible | partly compatible | compatible | partly compatible |
| Readability (3.1) | compatible | partly compatible | compatible | compatible | partly compatible |
| Predictability (3.2) | partly compatible | partly compatible | partly compatible | compatible | partly compatible |
| Compatibility (4.1.) | compatible | partly compatible | compatible | compatible | compatible |
The following measures to achieve accessibility are expected to be completed until the end of September 2024:
- Expansion and/or optimisation of text alternatives for non-text content (1.1)
- Expansion and/or optimisation of alternatives for time-based media (1.2)
- Optimisation of the adaptability of the content presented (1.3)
- Optimisation of the distinguishability of the content presented (1.4)
- Optimisation of keyboard accessibility (2.1)
- Optimisation of navigability (2.4)
- Expansion and/or optimisation of the input modalities (2.5)
- Optimisation of readability (3.1)
- Optimisation of predictability (3.2)
- Optimisation of compatibility with user agents (4.1)
The accessibility of all our information for all individuals has a high priority for us. Therefore, we thrive to continuously improve accessibility.
