Federal Government Employment
Learn about strategies for employing people with disabilities in the federal workforce.
A strong federal workforce employs the skills and talents of all qualified individuals. Reflecting this, the Federal Government has taken several steps over the years to recruit, hire, retain, and advance people with disabilities.
The underlying foundation for these actions is Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits discrimination against and requires federal agencies to serve as model employers of people with disabilities.
