ODEP’s assistant secretary of disability employment policy
ODEP welcomes a new assistant secretary of disability employment policy, Julie Hocker. Julie takes the helm at ODEP with a deep commitment to serving American workers with disabilities. She is focused on accountability, measurable results, and a belief that policy must translate to jobs, careers, and sustained advancement. She knows the extraordinary power of work to support dignity, health, and economic mobility, and understands that these opportunities should be open to every American. Julie’s most recent federal role as U.S. Commissioner on Disabilities at the Department of Health and Human Services “reinforced a simple truth,” she says. “When we set high expectations, organize supports well, and remove barriers, people with disabilities thrive.” Hear more from Julie directly on the Department of Labor blog.
