Thank you very much to everybody, I really appreciate you took the time to reply my doubts.
My problem with the SPPC is that Hawaii seemed to be the only state without one! and it's been for a while.
As much as I would like to check with each Agency, I think it could be pretty crazy since I sent so many job applications.
Since I'm trying to get a civilian job on the base that we live, I'm not sure if it would be worth to send an email to maybe the SPPC of the base or the AF in general(not sure there is even one tho), ideas?
I sent an email addressing this exact problem to USAjobs and this is the reply they gave me, similar to what you just said.
"Good Morning,
Thank you for contacting the US Office of Personnel Management, Disability Employment Program. Most Federal agencies have a Selective Placement Program Coordinator (SPPC) who helps management recruit, hire and accommodate people with disabilities. SPPC's have many roles and responsibilities, including:
Advising managers about candidates available for placement in jobs under special hiring authorities, as well as providing managers with information on reasonable accommodation and needs assessments for applicants and employees.
Helping managers determine the essential duties of the position, identify architectural barriers and possible modifications that allow people with disabilities to perform essential duties.
Helping people with disabilities get information about current job opportunities, types of jobs in the agency and how these jobs are filled, and reasonable accommodation.
Working with public and private organizations involved in the placement of applicants with disabilities to provide information about their agency program and job opportunities and to facilitate the placement of applicants with disabilities in their agency.
Monitoring and evaluating selective placement program efforts and activities for people with disabilities to determine their effectiveness, and making changes as needed to improve program effectiveness.
Coordinators develop, manage and evaluate the agency's Employment Program for Individuals with Disabilities. They are primarily located at agency headquarters and can provide information on coordinators in field offices. To locate a Selective Placement Program Coordinator, visit the OPM SPPC Directory.
SPPCs are not delegated by state, but the directory allows users to search for agencies that have an SPPC by the state the coordinator is located. If you do not see a specific agency that is a subset of a larger department, we suggest you contact the Department or Headquarters level SPPC if listed on the directory and they should be able to assist you. If you cannot locate a coordinator using the directory, we suggest identifying open positions with the specific agency/organization of interest or by location on
www.USAJOBS.gov. Once you have found an open position, you will see a point of contact who is either a SPPC or someone who can direct you to a coordinator.
If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us again.
Best,
Disability Employment
