Special Emphasis Programs

Empowered by federal laws, and regulations from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the CISA commissioned the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (OEEO) to design Special Emphasis Programs (SEPs) to place special emphasis on positive, equitable, and inclusive employment experiences for employees of all backgrounds. These programs are an integral part of the success of the Agency. OEEO works diligently with Divisions and Offices, workgroups and committees, and employee association groups to identify barriers that keep targeted groups from achieving their career goals at rates consistent with the general workforce.
