NDEAM celebrates America's workers with disabilities and reminds employers of the importance of inclusive hiring practices. This year's theme is "Increasing Access and Opportunity."
OFCCP works each day to ensure the protection of workers with disabilities in the workplace and that federal contractors understand their obligation to maintain a disability-inclusive workplace.  OFCCP provides contractors with meaningful compliance assistance, including technical assistance and guidance on providing accommodations to their workforce and applicants in all aspects required by equal employment opportunity laws. Here are a few of our initiatives that promote disability inclusion and reasonable workplace accommodations.
