The U.S. Department of Labor Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has unveiled two The Good Faith Initiative for Veterans Employment (G-FIVE) and Ensuring the Accessibility of Online Application Systems. G-FIVE was created to address the employment challenges facing the veteran workforce today by recognizing Federal contractors for their efforts in employing and advancing covered veterans. Ensuring the Accessibility of Online Application Systems is designed to ensure that Federal contractors and subcontractors provide equal opportunity to qualified applicants with disabilities, including disabled veterans, to compete for jobs when using an online application system. Electronic job application systems must be accessible to, and usable by, applicants who have disabilities, or the contractor must provide a reasonable accommodation that allows an equal opportunity to compete for a job.
