Outreach And Special Emphasis Programs
NASA continues to take affirmative steps to
better ensure that employees have the freedom to compete on a fair and level playing field and that the applicant pool for NASA employment is as diverse as possible. Goals and Objectives

• assures that recruitment activities reach all sources of job candidates;
• provides training and advice to managers and supervisors to assure their understanding and implementation of EEO policies and practices;
• participates with other employers, schools, and public and private groups in cooperative efforts to increase participation
in NASA programs and activities;
and
• periodically evaluates the effectiveness of EEO policy and procedure implementation.
