To Our Stakeholder Community:
OFCCP is committed to ensuring that disability is a key element in advancing racial and social equity for all. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs and the Women's Bureau invite you to share your ideas for how we can promote equity in employment by joining a national online dialogue on advancing racial and social equity in employment for people with disabilities beginning April 12.
The goal of this virtual dialogue is to gather input on how USDOL can promote equity in employment policies and programs for people with disabilities from historically underserved communities, people with mental health conditions, those recovering from long-term effects of COVID-19, and job seekers and workers with disabilities.
We welcome ideas from those who identify with these groups and all members of the public interested in advancing racial and social equity in employment for people with disabilities. Your input will help inform our work to remove barriers to opportunity for people with disabilities and ensure access to good jobs. All ideas are welcome, but we are specifically interested in input on:
- Challenges faced by workers and job seekers with disabilities;
- Ways to reach job seekers and employees with disabilities in underserved communities;
- Examples of programs or policies that advance racial and social equity in employment;
- Methods for assisting employers, workers, and other stakeholders.
You can join this important conversation any time April 12-26 by visiting the online dialogue site and submitting your ideas or commenting and voting on ideas submitted by others.
We look forward to hearing from you!
