The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs has unveiled two initiatives aimed at promoting the hiring of veterans and protecting the rights of applicants with disabilities: The Good Faith Initiative for Veterans Employment (G-FIVE) and Ensuring the Accessibility of Online Application Systems.

The G-Five initiative reaffirms OFCCP's commitment to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act; recognizes companies' "best practices" for the employment and advancement of veterans; creates an incentive for federal contractors and subcontractors to increase their employment of and affirmative action for covered veterans; and strengthens partnerships between OFCCP and other agencies and veterans groups.

The Ensuring the Accessibility of Online Application Systems initiative is designed to ensure that federal contractors and subcontractors provide equal opportunity to qualified applicants with disabilities (including disabled veterans) to compete for jobs when using an online application system. Electronic job application systems must be accessible to and usable by applicants who have disabilities, or the contractor must provide a reasonable accommodation that allows an equal opportunity to compete for a job.
