Affirmative Employment Program

About

The Affirmative Employment Program ensures equal opportunities in all personnel administration and management matters throughout the employment life cycle, including recruitment, outreach, hiring, retention, training, development, promotions, awards, and separations. This program strives to ensure the Air Force is proactively recruiting, hiring, promoting, and retaining a diverse and inclusive workforce.

  • IBAWGS are comprised of representatives from the Civilian Personnel Section, Non-Appropriated Fund - Human Resources, equal opportunity, other applicable functional communities, and other appropriate personnel as designated by the Installation Commander

Special Emphasis Groups

Special Emphasis Programs enhance employment and cultural awareness of protected groups, and support Affirmative Employment Program and equal opportunity initiatives by helping to address professional development, advancement and training of underrepresented groups, so they have the opportunity to reach their full employment potential.
