Pearson VUE 携手微软为奥斯汀灯塔-特拉维斯盲人协会提供无障碍考试


奥斯汀灯塔-特拉维斯盲人协会 (Austin Lighthouse-Travis Association for the Blind) 为德克萨斯州中部的视障人群和盲人提供工具、培训和指导,以促进劳动力的发展。在目睹了这个群体居高不下的失业率后,该协会确信技术可能是这一问题的解决办法。

奥斯汀灯塔向微软寻求帮助,一笔资助用于发展其 IT 培训项目。微软还消除了考试内容对于视障人群和盲人的障碍,Pearson VUE 与奥斯汀灯塔和微软密切合作,提供了读屏软件—— Job Access with Speech(JAWS),可为视障考生提供语音和盲文输出服务。

该项目将使奥斯汀灯塔成为第一个为参加认证考试的考生永久提供 JAWS 的非 Pearson VUE 考试中心。此外,奥斯汀灯塔服务机构的考试监考员将接受培训,以便为残障人士提供帮助。
