What is the EEO Program?
The Equal Employment Opportunity Program is a federally required affirmative action program that must be implemented by contractors and subcontractors with contracts and subcontracts of $10,000 and more on all federal-aid construction projects. Under the program, all affected contractors are required to provide equal employment opportunities to presumed socially and economically disadvantaged groups. The program also sets forth goals for minority and female participation, which are expressed in terms of the contractor’s aggregate workforce in each trade on all construction work in a covered area.
