The education Inclusive UX-design suits both those who are already working in the industry and want to expand their skills, as well as those who want to supplement or build on previous studies. The training is free of charge and gives you vocational school points.

UX has long been popular and is a high demand skill on the labor market. Inclusive UX design is based on UX but where the focus is instead on building a website that focuses on accessibility rather than profitability. More and more companies have started adapting their websites to be more inclusive for all individuals.

Have you or your organization previously worked with traditional UX where the focus is on profitability? With Inclusive UX design, you learn to interact with the user from an accessibility perspective and gain cutting-edge expertise in UX. Companies today have an increasingly widespread understanding that user-centered design affects how their products/services are received. There is today a huge demand for UX designers with a focus on inclusive design.
