The group is one of six Department of the Air Force Barrier Analysis Working Groups.
“This team is charged with retaining and developing current employees and military members with a disability, recruiting new talent, and removing barriers to advancement,” said Kendra Shock, Air Force disability program manager. “With these goals in mind, we are able to provide a resource to the Department of the Air Force leadership regarding the interests, needs and policies affecting Airmen and Space Professionals with disabilities.”
The team is focusing on increasing the participation rate of individuals with targeted disabilities. The Air Force currently has a 1.57% participation rate of individuals with targeted disabilities, which is approaching, but still shy of, the federal goal of 2%.
