Hi everyone,

I would like to propose the creation of an official training path and a specialization certification focused on Digital Accessibility, covering both OutSystems 11 and OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC).

As Low-Code developers, we have the responsibility to ensure that applications are inclusive by deeply applying WCAG standards within Service Studio and ODC Studio.

My suggestion is for OutSystems to offer:

• Accessibility Guided Path: A comprehensive training focused on using OutSystems UI accessibly, handling ARIA roles, managing focus, keyboard navigation, and testing with screen readers.
• Specialization Exam: A technical validation for developers who have mastered the implementation of accessible interfaces in Reactive and ODC applications.
• Profile Badge: An official badge on the community profile, allowing partners and clients to easily identify developers capable of delivering high-quality, inclusive projects.

Why is this important?

• Market Differentiation: Accessibility-certified professionals are rare and highly valued by large enterprises.
• Product Quality: It reduces technical debt and ensures that "High Performance Low-Code" also means "High Inclusion."
• Platform Strength: It demonstrates that OutSystems leads the market not only in speed but also in social and technical responsibility.

I believe an "Accessibility Specialist" badge would elevate the technical level of our community and help build a digital world for everyone.
