Fundamentals of EEO: Nuts and Bolts

If you haven’t played a role in any part of the Federal EEO process, it might seem like an overwhelming mystery. This class explains, in practical terms, everything you need to know to have a fundamental understanding of Federal EEO law and process.

Participants will be guided through each step of the process, from pre-complaint counseling to formal complaints to EEOC hearings and appeals, and will leave class with a thorough understanding of the various types of workplace discrimination.

Learning objectives

  • Identify the statutory authority and jurisdiction of EEOC.
  • Recognize the various theories of discrimination.
  • Explain how timeliness issues impact case processing.

Event FAQs

Is there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training? 

Yes. Many agencies have requested that full-day courses be taught over two half-days to ensure maximum engagement, especially when the course is being taught virtually. Any course can be spread out over multiple days or condensed into shorter sessions. And shorter classes can often be combined to build longer courses covering more topics. We’ll be happy to discuss the options that are most convenient to you.

In what format is this class held?

The class may be held onsite at an agency location, or as a live virtual event. Virtual events are generally held using your agency’s platform (Zoom, WebEx, Teams, etc.). In certain situations where FELTG hosts, the event will be held on Zoom or Teams.

Can I earn CLE credits for this class?

CLE applications are the responsibility of each attendee; FELTG does not apply for the credits on behalf of attendees. If you are seeking CLE credit, you may use the materials provided by FELTG in submission to your state bar. You may also request a certificate of completion which will contain the number of training hours attended.

Please note that your form inputs are saved on our server as they are entered.
