Hispanic Employment Program
Executive Order 13230, Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans Commission
strengthens the Nation's capacity to provide high-quality education and increase
opportunities for Hispanic Americans to participate in and benefit from Federal
education programs.
Executive Order 13171 was issued on October 12, 2000, to help improve the
representation of Hispanics in Federal employment.
In September 1997, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management developed and called
upon agencies to adopt a Hispanic Employment Initiative (9-Point Plan) to improve
the representation of Hispanics in the Federal workforce. The nine-point plan is
available on OPM's Web site at http://www.opm.gov/feorp02/ROTNPP.asp.
In 2009, ODI produced a recruitment video in Spanish to help ensure that VA
attracts a diverse pool of qualified applicants…the best and the
brightest…ready, willing, and able to serve our diverse Veteran population.
The video is available in English
(transcript) and
Spanish.
