Design of an Accessible Web Portal for the Labor Insertion of People with Blindness

This work is part of the study carried out in the central zone of Ecuador, formed by the provinces of Tungurahua, Pastaza, Chimborazo, Bolivar and Cotopaxi, where people with blindness and their labor situation were initially detected, taking into account Ecuadorian legislation and the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador in Art. 330 mentions that people with disabilities are guaranteed insertion and accessibility in equal conditions, guaranteeing paid work. Supported by this legislation, an Accessible Web Portal has been designed to support the group of people with total blindness, thus facilitating their labor insertion in the productive sectors. Our research aimed to categorize the skills and abilities of people who are blind. The methodology consists of two stages: The first was constituted by the identification of skills and abilities, while the second stage was the creation of a portal with accessibility patterns designed through HTML and CSS where the personal data of individuals with blindness are shown, that is to say, to make the job profiles visible to all employers. It is concluded that the use of the accessible web portal generates dynamics in the process of labor insertion, highlighting that blind people can access the portal without problems, finally the accessible portal must be considered a means of common use for people who need to be employed and are visually impaired.
