The Black Emphasis Program is designed to provide focus on issues such as
employment, promotion, training, and career enhancement affecting Black
employees and applicants in NRCS.
The program seeks to:
- Increase the number of Blacks in professional, administrative, and
technical occupations.
- Eliminate concentrations of Blacks in single interval series to
diversify and create advancement opportunities throughout all occupational
levels and all disciplines.
- Encourage the participation of Blacks in all NRCS sponsored programs and
activities.
- Provide a network of professional support for Blacks in NRCS.
- February is Black History Month
