The Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties is excited to announce the third cohort of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Disability Mentoring Program. This is a great opportunity for DHS employees with disabilities to connect with a mentor who can offer critical insight and career advice to help support and navigate the next stages of their career.
DHS is committed to equal employment opportunity and diversity. We are also committed to becoming a model employer of people with disabilities and people with targeted disabilities. The DHS Disability Mentoring Program demonstrates our proactive efforts to be the employer of choice, which includes hiring, advancing, and retaining employees with disabilities.
The DHS Disability Mentoring Program is open to all DHS employees with disabilities in headquarters and component offices. This program aims to provide valuable career development opportunities for both mentors and mentees. It is also an opportunity to learn from and network with colleagues across DHS. Participants will be matched across the department, providing a forum to gain insight and perspective on the various career opportunities DHS has to offer.
The application period is not open until Nov. 16. Mentor and mentee selections and pairs will be announced Dec. 5.
If you are interested in participating in this program, complete and submit your application.
