* '''Shared training''': We lost the chat from April 5 when people volunteered to share training resources, so we’ve created a sign up sheet. Please add your name and we’ll reach out to collect any resources you can add to our shared training space.

=== Show and share: Training for internal stakeholders ===
Gérard Dicks Pellerin (NRCan)
===Agenda===
Web orientation and training
3 modules:
# '''Why''': Policies of the web - focus on plain language requirements and what happens if you don’t apply them
# '''How''': Key web design concepts, approaches with good and bad examples, applying the Canada.ca style guide
# '''Tools''': Creating accessible Word documents
Target audience is content creators - policy, program, comms advisors, social media
Currently using new accessibility requirements as an incentive to get more people trained
Feedback from participants drives updates to the training.
=== Plain language community of practice ===
Chris Colter
