Nondiscriminatory Hiring in the Federal Workplace

Hurry through the Federal hiring process, and not only are you likely to make a mistake in hiring, but you may also end up without sufficient documentation to combat a discrimination complaint.

Per Executive Order, your agency should have already taken steps to “advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility,” and “eliminate, where applicable, barriers to equity, in Federal workforce functions.” You cannot afford to miss this class if you want to ensure your hiring practices are nondiscriminatory and align with the Federal merit system principles.

Learning objectives

• Identify selection panel roles and responsibilities.
• Recognize interview questions that cause problems.
• Develop and maintain evidence demonstrating a non-selection was neither discriminatory nor retaliatory.

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.
