The MDA values every bright mind that helps us meet our goal. For that reason, we’ve cultivated an environment where everyone is hired, advanced, recognized and trained with the same opportunities. Every applicant and employee is offered an opportunity for equal advancement and recognition, regardless of gender, cultural background or disability.

To help advance this policy, the MDA’s Equal Employment Opportunity program relies on Special Emphasis Programs (SEPs) as focal points to ensure all employees get the same opportunities within our environment to advance. SEPs have been established to address the special needs of women, those from diverse cultural backgrounds, and those with disabilities.

MDA’s SEPs include:

• Enhanced employment opportunities
• Access to specialized training for diverse groups
• Cultural education opportunities for MDA as a whole
• Monthly festivities and celebrations
