Programs for Employees with Disabilities, Equal Employment Opportunity

The Department of Homeland Security's Headquarters Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) offers guidance on how Department Headquarters managers and supervisors can facilitate the Department’s support of Headquarters’ employees with disabilities and related recruiting initiatives.

We are available to

• Assist managers, employees and applicants who have questions concerning employment opportunities for people with disabilities, including veterans with disabilities.
• Provide information regarding specific Department Headquarters EEO programs such as the Reasonable Accommodation Program and the Computer/Electronic Accommodation Program (CAP).
• Provide disability awareness training to meet your specific needs and requirements.

The Department's Headquarters Office of EEO announces the latest job openings every week via e-mail to more than 1,000 individuals, academic institutions, associations, and organizations nationwide. We also share these job announcements with campus disability coordinators throughout the nation, all independent living centers and state rehabilitation offices, bar associations, Tribal colleges, Hispanic serving institutions, and historically black colleges and universities, among other diverse institutions.
