What is the PPP?
The Priority Placement Program (PPP) is an automated mandatory placement program used to match eligible well-qualified employees, most of whom are subject to displacement, with vacant Department of Defense (DoD) positions. It enables the Department to maintain a relatively stable work force during base realignment and closure, reduction in force (RIF), and other displacement actions, and minimizes the adverse effect of these actions on employees. The PPP has long been the most effective placement program of its kind in the Federal government.
