Hispanic Employment Program Español
Welcome to the Hispanic Employment Program (HEP) web site, brought to you by the Department of Transportation (DOT). The Hispanic Employment Program is part of the Department's efforts to address and assist in reversing the underrepresentation and underutilization of Hispanics in DOT and better serve the nation's Hispanic community.
The DOT Hispanic Employment Program seeks to recruit talented candidates for employment with DOT; retain, promote, and develop current employees; and create a pipeline for addressing current and future workforce needs.
The Hispanic Employment Program is tied to DOT's policy on Equal Employment Opportunity. Through the Hispanic Employment Program, DOT is seeking to build
relationships with Hispanic communities and engage them in DOT's mission of ensuring the traveling public's safety, increasing their mobility, and enabling this Nation's economic growth and

development. The Hispanic Employment Program calls for strengthening DOT 's outreach activities in a comprehensive effort to promote partnership opportunities with the Hispanic community in three critical areas: employment, education, and business opportunities.
Hispanic Americans
- . . . are Americans of European, American Indian, African, Asian, and mixed ancestry who share certain historical background and cultural traditions - in particular, the Spanish language.
- . . . have diverse roots and whose ancestors, or who themselves, came to the U.S. from:
- Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Spain, the Dominican Republic, or Spanish-speaking countries of Central and South America
- . . . represent almost 13.5% of the U.S. population or over 38.8 million people, and as the world's fifth largest Spanish-speaking nation, rank as the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population.
