Subject: [nabs-l] Workforce Recruitment Program

Hey all, 
I wanted to make sure people knbow of the Workforce Recruitment Program. The
program is an effort to recruit college students with disabilities into the
federal workforce. Every year, thousands of disabled students are hired
through this program. From my limited knowledge of the program, recruiters
visit colleges throughout the U.S. where they interview disabled students.
Then their names, contact info, skills, desired position, etc are put into a
national database that all federal agencies have access to. The program
seems to work.

Today, I got a random, out-of-the-blue phone call from the U.S. Forest
Service, now I have an interview on Friday with Mount Hood NF in Oregon. I
will be interviewing for a Public Affairs Specialist trainee position. If I
get the job, I will spend the next two summers training to be a Public
Affairs Specialist, then when the incumbent retires, I will be converted to
a permant position. This is the single best chance I have had yet to "make
it".

Sorry I don't have more specific info on the program, but if you google it
or ask your DSS director, they may have more info.
