I received this in a newsletter and am just sharing the info, in case it's valuable to anyone. I don't know details about the initiative, but there is a contact person listed below, if you need additional info.
The following information is from the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities:
U.S. Department of Labor Seeking to Employ People with Disabilities.
The United States Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is filling positions within the agency via Schedule A. Schedule A hiring authority enables a federal agency to hire people with certain kinds of disabilities including intellectual disabilities without going through cumbersome hiring procedures. DOL's ETA is looking for a wide variety of professions at all levels. Some jobs are in the DC area, some are in regions. Anyone who is interested in learning about the opportunities available for Schedule A hiring is encouraged to contact Lisa Lahrman at Larhman.lisa@dol.gov
For more information about eligibility for Schedule A hiring within the federal government, visit http://www.opm.gov/Strategic_Management ... X05021.htm
