Welcome! This site provides a simple
and straightforward mechanism to help Americans, with and without
disabilities, better understand how to hire and retain persons with
disabilities.
Our target audiences are applicants and employees
with disabilities, Federal managers and supervisors, and human resources
professionals. The site can help users:
- Improve personal opportunities to transition
from a status of unemployment or under-employment to one of successful
employment and retention.
- Learn about gaining access to reasonable
accommodation in the Federal work place when appropriate.
- Learn how to transition in career growth
and placement to improve opportunities for retention.
- Understand disability hiring and retention
programs, address under-representation, enhance awareness, better
integrate people with disabilities in the workplace, and provide
for reasonable accommodation as necessary.
- Consult with Federal employees and applicants,
promote equal employment opportunity, and provide practical solutions
to work-related issues within the merit system and other legal
framework.
The site provides access to information that
is relevant to the recruitment, employment, and retention of individuals
with disabilities in the Federal Government. This information includes
Federal and state laws as well as other governmental and non-governmental
sites.
We have attempted to identify helpful guidance
and information to assist in the recruitment and retention of persons
with disabilities. This site is not designed, however, to address
or respond to individual circumstances. Individualized inquiries
should be addressed to the current or potential employing agency.
