Disability Employment Program

One in four adults in the United States lives with some form of disability. People with disabilities cross all racial, gender, educational, socio-economic, and organizational lines. Unlike many other underrepresented groups that face barriers to employment, anyone can become part of the disabled community at any time. The National Park Service is committed to being a model employer and continually strives to promote the recruitment, hiring, retention, and promotion of people with disabilities.

Schedule A refers to a special hiring authority that gives federal agencies an optional, and potentially quicker, way to hire individuals with disabilities. You can apply for jobs using Schedule A if you are a person with an intellectual disability, a severe physical disability or a psychiatric disability. To be eligible for Schedule A, you must provide a proof of a disability letter from your doctor, a licensed medical professional, a licensed vocational rehabilitation specialist or any federal, state or local agency that issues or provides disability benefits. Applicants also must meet qualifications and/or education requirements for the position.

Tips for applying:

• Mention your eligibility and that you want to be considered for Schedule A on your resume.
• In your USAJobs profile, select the "Individuals with Disabilities" hiring path and make your resume searchable so hiring officials can find you.
