Respect-Ability Coalition

The Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) electronic database has just launched and is available to you today to search for prospective
employees with the skill sets your office needs. The WRP is a
recruitment and referral program that connects federal sector employers nationwide with highly motivated postsecondary students and recent graduates with disabilities. Co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) and the U.S. Department of Defense with the participation of many other federal agencies, the WRP has provided employment opportunities for over 4,000
students since 1995.

The database contains information on over 1,700 top ranked students ranging from an Associates degree to a PhD. All the students have been pre-screened and interviewed personally by a trained WRP recruiter. Students have been rated based on their experience and interview.

The benefits of the WRP website are that it is easy to manage, you can view resumes from students from across the nation, read recruiters remarks from the interview, and much more. Hurry and request resumes before other employers pick your future employee!

For more information on the WRP database or on FAA's National People with Disabilities Program, please contact Mandy Haltrecht, FAA National People with Disabilities Program Manager, via e-mail at Mandy.Haltrecht@faa.gov. Mandy may also be reached by phone at (202) 385-8127.
