Black Employment Program
The Black Employment Program (BEP) was designed to work within the framework of
the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program. The BEP has a functioning
committee, known as the BEPC, that serves as an organizational liaison to
address the concerns and needs of black employees, pertaining to equal
opportunity at MVN.
The committee observes the climate and conducts
surveys, when deemed necessary, and sets goals accordingly. The BEPC has
sponsored programs, training, and activities that aid in professional and
personal growth, increase employee morale, and improve communication.
One
of the committees' most challenging goals is to foster change in negative,
superior type attitudes that promote inequality at the district. The BEPC
participates in numerous recruitment efforts, providing information on how to
apply for federal jobs and encouraging blacks to apply for positions at the
district, especially non-traditional jobs. The BEPC continues to
brainstorm for new, proactive ideas on how to improve conditions and
positioning of blacks at the district. As always, the BEPC welcomes
suggestions.
The BEPC sets out each year to identify or accomplish the following:
-
Forthcoming Programs and/or Training
-
Action Items/Accomplishments
-
