On March 14, 2023, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programmes (OFCCP) launched the Mega Construction Project (Megaproject) Programme to promote equitable hiring and fair workplaces by federal contractors in the construction trades on large federally funded projects.
The landmark Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) is creating new, good jobs in communities across the country. To deliver on America’s promise of equal opportunity for all and the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to building an economy where no one is left behind, OFCCP will bring together the public and private sectors in a comprehensive effort to remove barriers to opportunity in the construction trades and utilize the full talent across our communities.
OFCCP has designated an initial group of BIL-funded projects from the Department of Transportation and the General Services Administration as Megaprojects. Construction projects eligible for designation as Megaprojects are valued at US$35 million or more in funding, some part of which must be federal funding, and are expected to last for at least one year.
For each Megaproject, OFCCP will provide free, continuous, on-the-ground assistance to help project owners with stakeholder outreach and information sharing, providing connections to recruitment sources in the community so that projects can fully utilize the local workforce to get the needed talent.
Please join us via Webex for an overview of the Megaproject Programme.
