Recommendation for Job Seekers

Investigate employment opportunities in agencies with critical hiring needs and agencies that have shown a commitment to hiring people with disabilities. For example, almost 80 percent of projected new hires will be in five professional fields: security, protection, compliance and enforcement; medical and public health; accounting, budget, and business; engineering and sciences; and program management/analysis and administration.

The Employer Assistance & Recruiting Network (EARN), funded by ODEP, is a free service that connects employers with skilled job candidates. EARN also offers assistance to employment service providers and job-seekers with disabilities by providing them with job leads from employers interested in including people with disabilities in their recruiting efforts. Currently, 162 federal agencies are using EARN services to identify qualified candidates with disabilities.
