WRP Forms: Less Paperwork, Quicker
The Department of Labor proposes revising the Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) information collection to reduce paperwork and respondent burden. The notice reports 3,100 total respondents, a total annual time burden of 2,600 hours, with 2,500 student participants averaging 1 hour each and 600 school coordinators averaging 10 minutes each, and asks for public comments by April 10, 2026.
Who Can Register for WRP
To register for WRP you must be a current, full-time, degree-seeking undergraduate or graduate student with a disability, or have graduated within 2.5 years of the database release each December. Candidates also must be U.S. citizens, attend or have graduated from a U.S.-accredited college or university, be eligible under the Schedule A Hiring Authority for persons with disabilities, and be approved by a WRP School Coordinator.
WRP Is Not a Job Guarantee
Participation in WRP does not guarantee employment. Candidates may have an elective informational interview with a Federal recruiter, but WRP does not place candidates into jobs and not everyone who participates will be contacted by employers.
Your WRP Data Is Searchable by Employers
Information from WRP candidates is compiled into a searchable database available to Federal Human Resources Specialists, Equal Employment Opportunity Specialists, other Federal hiring officials, and to the private sector through a contractor; employers may then reach out to candidates directly if interested.
