The Department of Agriculture is committed to the recruitment, employment, and advancement of people with disabilities. It is the Department's goal to increase representation of people with disabilities in our workforce and to ensure that our employees and customers with disabilities can access the tools and information they need. The TARGET Center was established in 1992 to ensure that all employees have safe and equal access to electronic and information technology by assessing, educating and advocating for the integration of assistive technology and worksite accommodations.

The TARGET Center will assist you with learning more about Section 508, assistive technology, ergonomics, or finding the right technology to meet your needs. For more information or to schedule a demonstration, please contact us.
