FAA's Diversity Initiative Actively Recruits Workers with 'Severe Intellectual' Disabilities

The Federal Aviation Administration's updated guidelines prioritize diversity and inclusion in hiring, including individuals with severe intellectual disabilities and psychiatric problems.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is actively recruiting workers with 'severe intellectual' disabilities and psychiatric problems as part of a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative, according to its website.
The FAA's initiative is part of its 'Diversity and Inclusion' hiring plan, which claims 'diversity is integral to achieving FAA's mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond.'
The FAA's website outlines that some managers can hire disabled people and veterans through an 'On-the-Spot hiring process,' providing required documentation is submitted.
The FAA also details that employees with disabilities will be provided 'reasonable accommodation' on the job.
The FAA's website shows the agency’s guidelines on diversity hiring were last updated on March 23, 2022.
