Executive Summary
This instruction describes and implements a new initiative, called the ODEP Alliance Initiative, within the Office of Disability Employment Policy, Division of Education and Outreach (E & O). The purpose of this new initiative is to provide a vehicle for regular cooperative interaction between ODEP (at all levels of the organization) and trade and professional associations, businesses, labor unions, educational institutions, Federal, state and local government agencies and others, and to further discussion and share information on disability employment policy as it pertains to recruiting, hiring, advancing and retaining workers with disabilities.
Purpose
To increase voluntary collaboration with the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), the Agency is introducing the Alliance Initiative, which enables the Agency to work jointly with employers and businesses, trade and professional associations, educational institutions, local, state, and Federal government agencies, and others. Specifically, Alliances serve as a means for parties to participate in a voluntary cooperative relationship with ODEP for purposes such as training and education, outreach and communication and promoting the national dialogue on the recruitment, hiring, advancement and retention of workers with disabilities. This instruction establishes the Agency's policy and guidelines for the development and approval of individual Alliances and for the ongoing operation and management of overall Alliance activity.

ODEP Alliance Initiative
To facilitate voluntary collaboration with ODEP, the Agency is introducing the Alliance Initiative, which enables the Agency to work jointly with trade and professional associations, businesses, labor unions, educational institutions, Federal, state and local government agencies and others. Alliances can open new channels of communication, advance technical knowledge, lead to improvement in workplace accommodations, and lay the foundation for greater advances in the recruitment, hiring, advancement and retention of workers with disabilities. Specifically, Alliances enable parties to participate in a voluntary cooperative relationship with ODEP for purposes such as training and education, outreach and communication and promoting the national dialogue on disability employment related issues. This instruction establishes the Agency's policy and guidelines for the development and approval of individual Alliances and for the ongoing operation and management of overall Alliance activity.
II. Scope.
This instruction applies ODEP-wide. It states the Agency's Alliance policy but does not bind the Agency to approve or disapprove any particular Alliance, limit the Agency's discretion to enter into Alliances, or create any rights for private parties.

VI. Definitions.
A. ODEP Alliance Initiative. ODEP Alliances are formalized,
voluntary, cooperative relationships between ODEP and
businesses, labor organizations, trade and professional
associations, universities, local, state, and Federal
government agencies. Alliances may address the
enhancement of national dialogue on disability employment
policy issues, training and education on topical subjects, and
outreach or promoting communication. Alliances provide
opportunities to exchange ideas, convey concerns, raise
issues, educate and collaborate on efforts to advance the
employment opportunities of people with disabilities.
B. Alliance Initiative Participant or Signatory. Any party that signs
an Alliance agreement with ODEP.
C. Annual Alliance Report. National Office Alliances. An annual
report (see Appendix A), prepared by the Alliance Coordinator,
describing the purpose and scope of the Alliance, a list of the
team members and contributors, events and products of the
Alliance, results achieved, and upcoming milestones.
D. Alliance Manager. The Alliance Manager will be housed in the
Education and Outreach Division of ODEP and will responsible
for:1. Vetting proposed Alliances agreements within ODEP and
the Department.
2. Establishing and maintaining procedural protocol for
alliances.
3. Monitoring activities of Alliance Coordinators.
4. Maintaining and updating Alliance Initiative Web page on
the ODEP Web site.
5. Organizing Alliance Initiative signing events.E. Alliance Coordinator. An Alliance Coordinator is the person in
the originating policy or operations office that serves as the
primary contact for an individual Alliance. This person is
responsible for:1. Ensuring that the activities planned to meet the goals of
the Alliance are undertaken in a timely manner.
2. Maintaining a file on the Alliance, to include the original
agreement, notes of meetings, products, reports, and any
other relevant materials.
3. Ensuring that the information about the Alliance on
ODEP's Alliance Web page is current and accurate.
4. Communicating issues, milestones and
accomplishments about the Alliance.
5. Responding to requests for information about the
Alliance.
VII. Purposes of an Alliance.
ODEP works with the public to promote increasing employment opportunities of people with disabilities by offering technical assistance services and programs to businesses and organizations.
In 2007, ODEP created the Alliance Initiative. This cooperative program enables organizations committed to improving disability workplace practices to work with ODEP to develop and implement model policies and initiatives that increase recruiting, hiring, advancing, and retaining workers with disabilities. ODEP and Alliance participants work together to reach out to, educate, and lead the nation’s employers, employees and organizations in advancing disability employment. Groups that can form an Alliance with ODEP include trade and professional associations, businesses, labor unions, educational institutions, Federal, state and local government agencies and others.
The Alliance Initiative supports ODEP's Strategic Management Plan by addressing emerging issues and the Agency's priorities. There are few formal program requirements for Alliances and the agreements do not include an enforcement component. However, ODEP and the participating organizations must define, implement and meet a set of short and long-term goals that fall into three categories:
A. Training and Education. Training and education goals may
include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following areas:1. Training materials: ODEP and Alliance partner identify
training and education materials for managers and
employees.
2. Best Practices Information Sharing. Best practices are
often not widely shared within an industry or between
competitors, but Alliances facilitate this kind of sharing
within and across industries. Any such practice
or program shared within the context of an Alliance must
be jointly determined by ODEP and the potential Alliance
Initiative participant to be a best practice.
3. Industry Expertise: Alliance partners can provide expertise
on key industry workforce issues and help to assess how
these impact workplace disability practices and/or the
employment opportunities of people with disabilities.B. Outreach and Communication. Outreach and communication
goals may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the
following areas:1. Informational Materials. ODEP and Alliance Initiative
participants develop and disseminate information at
conferences, events or through print and electronic
means, including Web products.
2. Speaking, Exhibiting or Appearances. ODEP and Alliance
Initiative participants seek and create opportunities to
appear at conferences, local meetings or other events to
promote the work of the Alliance.
3. Alliance Initiative Participants Collaboration. ODEP
encourages Alliance Initiative participants to work together
on broad issues or projects that pertain to more than one
industry or organization. Alliance Initiative participants
may agree in advance to work on a specific issue, for a
certain industry, or to reach a particular audience.C. Promoting the National Dialogue on Advancing the
Employment Opportunities of People with Disabilities. National
dialogue goals may include, but are not limited to, one or more of
the following areas:1. Developing and/or Identifying Case Studies and
Publicizing their Results. Alliances can develop case
studies and promote their results through print or
electronic media, promotion at conferences, or
other means of reaching out to others in industry.
2. Convening or Participating in Forums and Round Table
Discussions. ODEP and Alliance Initiative participants
can bring together key players with diverse and divergent
opinions to discuss problems and forge innovative
solutions to disability employment-related issues.
ODEP encourages flexibility, creativity, and cooperation in the Alliance development process. Any party can initiate development of an Alliance. Since Alliance development is a dynamic process, ODEP recommends a tracking chart. This information is maintained and updated at least monthly by the ODEP Education and Outreach Division (E & O) and contains data on Alliance activities such as organizations that are currently negotiating with ODEP.
Alliances are signed, collaborative agreements that address such things as compliance assistance, accommodations, and attitudes or special problems facing a particular industry. An ODEP Alliance should have one or more primary goals - training and education, outreach and communication, and/or promotion of the national dialogue on workplace safety and health.
A. Distinguishing Alliances from Other ODEP Initiatives.
Alliances complement ODEP’s other initiatives, in that Alliances
serve as a means to establish and recognize a collaborative
relationship with ODEP. Alliances not only advance the
employment opportunities of people with disabilities, but also
build on existing relationships and encourage participation in
other cooperative relationships.
B. Identifying Potential Alliance Initiative Participants. Often
trade associations seek to participate in Alliances because they
can benefit from the mutual leveraging of resources. An
association is able to act on behalf of its members to build a
strong relationship with ODEP, and the Agency is able to get its
message out to many more employers, employees, or worksites
than it could do on its own. Nonetheless, fruitful Alliances can
also be formed with other types of organizations.
Professional associations can benefit from working with ODEP
and sharing their members' expertise and experiences in
addressing disability employment issues in the
workplace. Educational institutions can collaborate with the
Agency to develop progressive curricula and promote access to
education. Government agencies that share with ODEP one or
more of their missions or customer bases can leverage
resources by sending a unified message.
Individual businesses may also benefit by working with ODEP to
share their experience with other businesses or industries,
thereby helping to lead the way to broader implementation of
programs and practices that they have developed and
implemented themselves. Likewise, labor organizations can
benefit by working with ODEP to educate their members and
others about the value of workers with disabilities.
C. General Considerations in Choosing Alliance Initiative
Participants. Time and resources permitting, ODEP should form
Alliances with any organization that meets the considerations
below and is willing to work together to achieve mutual
goals. However, highest priority should go to organizations that
would best help ODEP reach the broadest affected audience,
especially on issues covered by ODEP's Strategic Management
Plan or other high-priority initiatives. Critical factors that are
considered are:1. Leadership commitment to the Alliance in general and to
meeting specific goals, such as demonstrating
commitment to advancing employment opportunities of
people with disabilities.
2. Sufficient resources, such as a Web site, newsletter(s),
journal(s), or conferences, all of which can be critical to
the implementation of Alliance goals.
3. Expertise within the staff or membership of the
organization sufficient to meet goals such as developing
or delivering training and curricula.
4. Willingness to reach beyond the group's own
membership or constituency, as in making online
resources available to all users.
5. The organization's current and past interaction with ODEP
and the U.S. Department of Labor.D. Alliances with For-Profit Entities. As previously noted, ODEP
also enters into Alliances with individual businesses, for
example, when the business has exceptional programs or tools
that could be shared with others who may not have the resources
or expertise to develop and implement their own. Alliance
coordinators should take care, however, when negotiating an
Alliance with a for- profit entity, to avoid any appearance of
governmental sanction of the product or approach of the
business. For example, it might appear that ODEP is endorsing
a particular product of the for-profit entity. (Also see section G.,
below.)
In addition, where it appears that ODEP or the Federal
government would clearly benefit by having a product or service
offered by the business for governmental use, then the product or
service should be acquired in accordance with appropriate
Federal acquisition procedures.
E. Alliances with Non-Profit Entities. As previously noted, ODEP
also enters into Alliances with non-profit entities (e.g. trade and
professional associations, government agencies) when the
organizations have exceptional programs or tools that could be
shared with others who may not have the resources or expertise
to develop and implement their own. Alliance coordinators
should take care, however, when negotiating an Alliance with a
non-profit entity, to avoid any appearance of governmental
sanction of the product or services of the organization. For
example, it might appear that ODEP is endorsing a particular
product of the non-profit entity. (Also see section G., below.)
In addition, where it appears that ODEP or the Federal
government would clearly benefit by having a product or service
offered by the business for governmental use, then the product or
service should be acquired in accordance with appropriate
Federal acquisition procedures.
F. Intra-Agency Communication for National Alliances. Those
that initiate a national Alliance must include E & O in negotiating
Alliances with potential Alliance Initiative participants. In addition,
goals should not be finalized before seeking input from other
ODEP offices to ensure that the focus of the Alliance is
compatible with other Agency priorities, programs, and initiatives.
G. Alliance Agreements. Alliances must be formalized through
an Alliance agreement that outlines the purposes of the Alliance,
the make-up of the implementation team, a two-year or other
negotiated term, and a termination provision. These are built into
the Alliance template in Appendix B (for National Alliances).
ODEP's Alliances provide parties an opportunity to participate in a
voluntary cooperative relationship with ODEP. By entering into an
Alliance with a party, ODEP is not endorsing any products or
services of that party; nor does the Agency enter into an Alliance
with the purpose of promoting particular products or services of
any party. Thus, in developing goals, care must be taken to avoid
any possible appearance of endorsement, governmental
sanction or preferential access given to the entity.A draft Alliance agreement can be used to discuss and refine the
focus, intent, or terms of the Alliance. It should contain a
statement of the focus of the Alliance, a brief description of the
purpose of the Alliance (organized by goal type), and the
implementation paragraphs found in the templates. When the
draft has the preliminary approval of all parties, the originating
office must submit the draft agreement to the next higher
organizational level to ensure programmatic consistency.
H. Alliance Coordinator. One person in the originating office
must be assigned to act as an ODEP coordinator for each of the
individual Alliance.
IX. Alliance Signatories.
Except when the Secretary of Labor (or her Designee) chooses to sign a national Alliance, the Assistant Secretary must sign national Alliances. Signing ceremonies are optional. The signatories may choose to simply exchange signatures by mail.
X. Program Requirements.
Alliances are intended to encourage free and open discussion of disability employment related issues; therefore, the only formal program requirements are as follows.
A. Prepare a Draft Alliance Agreement.
B. After the Alliance is signed, hold regular meetings or
conference calls (at a minimum, at least three times per year) to
ensure the Alliance remains on track. An implementation
work plan and provisions for charting milestones of the Alliance
are recommended, but not required.
C. Document the progress of the Alliance.1. Alliance Agreement. The electronic copy will be posted to
the ODEP Alliance Initiative Web site, as will any updates,
milestones, success stories, events, or photographs sent
to ODEP for that purpose.
2. Annual Reports. Prepare and submit annual
reports. The purpose of annual Alliance reports is to
assess the impact of an Alliance. Results are measured
against the goals stated in the Alliance
agreement, including joint events, products developed,
and people reached. (See Appendix A).
XI. ODEP Recognition of Alliances.
ODEP officially recognizes Alliances through press releases, postings on the ODEP Web page, and coverage in the Agency's print and electronic publications.
In addition, ODEP makes available to each signatory an Alliance Initiative mark or emblem to recognize its relationship with ODEP. Alliance Initiative participants are authorized to appropriately use the ODEP Alliance logo on documents or Web pages relating to the Alliance for as long as the Alliance remains in effect. The mark or emblem may not be used for fundraising or lobbying efforts or to imply that ODEP endorses a particular entity or its actions or products.
XII. Termination of an Alliance.
Any signatory may terminate its Alliance at any time, provided it gives 30 days written notice. Reasons for ODEP to terminate an Alliance may include, but are not limited to:
A. Failure of the Alliance Initiative participant to fulfill responsibilities outlined in the work plan developed by the implementation team.
B. Changes in the Alliance Initiative participant's strategic direction such that it appears to undermine the goals of the Alliance.
C. Evidence that the Alliance Initiative participant does not have the resources it purported to have when developing the Alliance.
