No-Cost Outreach Programs

EEOC's outreach programs provide general information about the EEOC, its mission, the employment discrimination laws enforced by EEOC and the charge/complaint process. EEOC representatives are available on a limited basis at no cost to make presentations and participate in meetings, conferences and seminars with employee and employer groups, professional associations, students, non-profit entities, community organizations and other members of the general public.

Many EEOC offices have bilingual staff available to make presentations. EEOC information materials and other publications are available at no cost, including many in languages other than English.

Does your group need a speaker for an upcoming conference or seminar? An EEOC representative may be available to provide a general overview of the laws enforced by EEOC and EEOC charge processing procedures, including mediation.

Are you holding a business EXPO, job fair or community event? EEOC representatives may be available to participate and disseminate information.

Are you a small business? EEOC's web site includes a special section with small business information. For your convenience, EEOC field offices have designated small business liaisons to answer questions and provide assistance to small businesses.

EEOC conducts free workshops on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for small businesses and individuals with disabilities. These workshops, which include information on tax incentives, community resources, and the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees, are aimed at encouraging businesses with 15 to 100 employees to hire individuals with disabilities and assisting individuals who are entering the workforce to understand the ADA.

EEOC Outreach Program Coordinators want to hear from you!
