Diversity

Diversity is one of the United States Mint's greatest strengths. We benefit enormously from the talents and contributions of a large and varied workforce that reflects the rich diversity of the nation we serve.

To encourage diversity, identify groups for outreach, and expand cultural awareness, we have Special Emphasis programs, such as:

African American Employment Program
Hispanic Employment Program
Asian/Pacific Islander Program
Federal Women's Program
Native Americans Program
Persons with Disabilities Program
Disabled Veterans Program

The Mint also conducts special training activities to enhance our employees' abilities to communicate across cultures. Moreover, we're committed to providing a supportive environment of inclusion that values differences. This influences the way we work together, as well as the way we serve our customers, and it permeates our entire work culture.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DISABLED
The United States Mint believes that a disability shouldn't be an impediment to gainful employment. We comply with all applicable laws and regulations requiring reasonable accommodations for qualified employees with disabilities.

Accommodations we have provided in the past vary from one facility to another and include:

Wheel chair accessible lavatories
Sign language interpreters
Braille signage
Push pad automatic door openers
Strobe light automatic lighting systems

In addition, we're designing our Web site to be compliant with regulations promulgated under Section 508 of the United States government's Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which are guidelines for making electronic information technology as accessible to people with disabilities as it is to the general population.
