In August, the Department of Labor announced two final rules to improve the hiring and employment of veterans and people with disabilities.
One rule updates requirements under the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, or VEVRAA. The other updates requirements under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. You can read Secretary Tom Perez’s blog post about the rules here.
Join the department (@USDOL) for a Twitter chat this Friday, Sept. 13, from 2-3 p.m. EDT to discuss these new rules. You’ll have the chance to ask policy experts questions about what these rules mean for federal contractors and for job seekers.
Officials from the department’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) and Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) will participate in the conversation, as well as special guests from the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the U.S. Business Leadership Network (USBLN) and The American Legion.
Tweet using the hashtag #AccessJobs to join the discussion between 2 and 3 p.m. EDT Friday, or to submit your questions in advance. You can also submit questions by emailing them to OFCCP-Public@dol.gov.
