The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programmes has released a new course in the Contractor Compliance Institute for federal and federally assisted construction contractors and subcontractors . The new course, Construction Compliance Review Course for Contractors, examines OFCCP’s compliance processes and procedures that apply to federal and federally assisted construction contracts to help covered construction contractors better understand their regulatory requirements.

 The course has five modules and the following key topics:

• OFCCP’s three laws in the context of federal and federally assisted construction contracts
• Applicable posting, listing, notice and recordkeeping requirements
• Participation goals for women and minorities on construction sites and how these goals are measured
• The 16 affirmative action steps as well as Section 503 and VEVRAA written affirmative action program requirements applicable to covered construction contractors

OFCCP is committed to providing meaningful compliance assistance to contractors to ensure they know how to comply with their equal employment opportunity obligations.
