Hispanic Employment Program
The Hispanic Employment Program began as the
16-Point Program in 1973. It was then
renamed the Spanish Speaking Program in
1974. It became the Hispanic Employment
Program in FPM Letter 713-41 on 28 February
1977. The overall goal of the Hispanic
Employment Program is to advise the
Commander and the EEO Office on the
employment concerns of Hispanics—both those
in the workforce, and those applying for
employment. Members serve as organizational
liaisons to provide information about the
concerns and needs in their respective
organizations, and assist in initiating
programs to enhance the career development
of Hispanics. The committee’s goals are to:
-
Strive toward achieving a civilian work
force in which Hispanics are employed at
all levels, in all occupations, and in
all segments of the organization
commensurate with their rep-resentation
in the relevant labor force.
-
Establish and implement procedures that
will enable the district to identify and
resolve actual and perceived system
inequities, which adversely affect
Hispanic employees.
-
Provide means for Hispanics to obtain
equal opportunity in all aspects of
employment through creation and
maintenance of organizational processes
and programs that foster and respond to
Hispanics in their pursuit of
employment, development, and career
progression.
