Most Federal agencies have a Selective Placement Program Coordinator, Special Emphasis Manager (SEP) for Employment of Adults with Disabilities, or equivalent, who helps agency management recruit, hire and accommodate people with disabilities at that agency. These Coordinators or SEP Managers have many roles and responsibilities, including:
- Advising managers about candidates available for placement
in jobs under special hiring authorities, and providing managers with information
on reasonable accommodation and needs assessments for applicants and employees.
- Helping managers determine the essential duties of the
position, identify architectural barriers and possible modifications that
allow people with disabilities to perform essential duties.
- Helping persons with disabilities get information about
current job opportunities, types of jobs in the agency and how these jobs
are filled, and reasonable accommodation.
- Working with public and private organizations involved
in the placement of applicants with disabilities to provide information about
their agency program and job opportunities and to facilitate the placement
of applicants with disabilities in their agency.
- Monitoring and evaluating selective placement program
efforts and activities for people with disabilities to determine their effectiveness,
and making changes as needed to improve program effectiveness.
SEP Managers develop, manage and evaluate the agency’s Affirmative Employment
Program for Individuals with Disabilities.
This directory lists the Selective Placement Program Coordinators/ SEP Managers
in Federal agencies, primarily at the agency headquarters. The Headquarters
Coordinators can provide information on agency Coordinators/SEP Managers at
local installations. OPM updates this directory as needed.
