Access Keys
Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. Windows users can navigate with the accesskey feature by typing ALT+Accesskey. On the Mac, you would use CTRL+Accesskey (not COMMAND+Accesskey, which can produce undesired effects). Internet Explorer users may also need to hit the “enter” key to activate a link

All pages on this site define the following access keys:
Access key h - Home page
Access key j - Job Seekers
Access key d - Education
Access key c - Community
Access key n - Enterprises
Access key u - Contact Us
Access key b - About Us
Access key i - Site Map
Access key w - Work at WISE
Access key p - Publications
Access key f - Clean Force
Access key l - ELS
Access key t - Education and Training
Access key a - Accessibility
Access key k - Skip Navigation

Menus at the foot of each page have a single letter underlined that corresponds to the keyboard shortcut for that item. Since many users will be familiar with this convention, we can use it to indicate the accesskey assignment for a link. By underlining a single letter and setting it as a link element's accesskey attribute, users will know which accesskeys correspond with each link

Standards Compliance
All pages on this site are Bobby AAA approved, complying with all the Bobby guidelines. This is always a judgement call; many accessibility features can be measured, but many can not. We have reviewed all the guidelines and believe that all these pages are in compliance. For example, click here to check the validation on this URL: http://www.cleanforce.com.au/WISEWEB/Template-Job-Seekers.htm

All pages on this site is WCAG AAA approved, complying wih all priority 1, 2, and 3 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Again, this is a judgement call; many guidelines are intentionally vague and can not be tested automatically. We have reviewed all the guidelines and believe that all these pages are in compliance.

All pages on this site validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict. This is not a judgement call; a program can determine with 100% accuracy whether a page is valid XHTML. For example, check the template page for XHTML validity.

Navigation Aid
The site will contain a Search Page.

Links
Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target

Images
All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.

Text Size
This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.

Skip Navigation
Each page on the site contains a "skip navigation" link. Choosing this link moves the user directly to the main content of the page, bypassing the long list of navigational links which appears on every page. This permits faster and easier navigation for those using screen readers or for anyone using the keyboard rather than a mouse to navigate the site.

Visual Design
This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout..

If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
