This class is designed to help individuals with recruiting responsiblities, sources and direction for finding and hiring qualified diverse applicants. Recruitment efforts in the National Park Service (NPS) need to take into account, the changing age and ethnic demographics of the United States of America. While the makeup of America is changing, in many ways our NPS human resources look much as they have looked for decades. We must make sure that we can become and remain relevant as we continue to carry out our commitment to protect the resources of the national parks in perpetuity; the ranks of our agency should reflect the "face of America." An important way in which we can do this is to promote and support the hiring, training, mentoring and supervision of diverse employees. By targeting diverse and non-traditional applicant sources such as organizations assisting individuals with disabilities and sharing clear consistent recruitment messages, recruiting can also be used as an effective tool to help the agency to achieve desired diversity to be a stronger more diverse workforce.
