The Federal government has many opportunities for veterans, and there are a number of special hiring authorities just for them. Outside of competing for jobs posted on USAJOBs, eligible veterans may have the opportunity to go through the non-competitive hiring process. While this does not guarantee a job, it does provide agencies with the flexibility to hire veterans outside of the competitive process.

Last Chance to Vote! Voting for the 2024 ONCON ICON Awards ends on July 5th! Here's one last reason to vote for the Department of Commerce's Learning and Development Team, which has been instrumental in supporting accessibility efforts at the agency. Section 508 Compliance Training: In today's fast-paced digital world, accessibility is not just a nice-to-have—it's a non-negotiable. As organizations strive to reach diverse audiences and comply with regulatory standards, understanding and implementing accessibility measures have become essential. That's where Section 508 compliance training steps in, offering a pathway to mastering accessibility and enhancing user experience across digital platforms. Accessibility ensures that digital content and technologies are usable by everyone, including individuals with disabilities. It goes beyond mere compliance—it's about creating inclusive spaces where everyone can participate fully and equally. Whether you're new to accessibility principles or seeking to deepen your knowledge, 508 compliance training provides the foundation and tools to make a meaningful impact. The DOC L&D Team designed a training that goes beyond theory by offering hands-on exercises designed to reinforce the understanding and application of accessibility principles. The training includes practical scenarios where participants learn to implement accessibility features, optimize digital content for diverse user needs, and navigate compliance challenges effectively. We want to thank the DOC L&D team for their dedication and commitment to designing training that benefits everyone while supporting the agency’s DEIA efforts. There you have it! We hope we have showcased the DOC L&D Team in a way that inspires you and moves you to vote for them! Are you ready? Click here to cast your vote: https://lnkd.in/e-J6uEZs.
