Introduction
Blue Ridge Community & Technical College has prepared this Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) for the period of
May 1, 2020 through April 30, 2021, reaffirming its commitment to the spirit and letter of affirmative action
law, including those administered by the U. S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs (OFCCP). Through the implementation of this plan Blue Ridge CTC continues its efforts to comply
with appropriate government regulations and to make the best possible use of personnel while contributing to
the betterment of society and the community.
In developing this plan Blue Ridge CTC recognizes its duty to ensure equal employment opportunity. The
following statement of policy reinforces that belief.
Reaffirming Commitment to Equal Employment Opportunity
In setting forth this plan Blue Ridge CTC reaffirms its belief in equal employment opportunity for all
employees and applicants for employment in all terms and conditions of employment.
Dr. Peter Checkovich, President of Blue Ridge CTC, designated Morgan Gower as the Equal Employment
Opportunity Administrator (EEO Administrator). Morgan Gower oversees the plan development, modification,
implementation, and reporting requirements and conducts management updates. The EEO Administrator also
analyzes Blue Ridge CTC's selection process in order to further the principles of equal employment
opportunity.
As part of Blue Ridge CTC's commitment to this overall process, it will seek to ensure affirmative action to
provide equality of opportunity in all aspects of employment, and that all personnel activities, such as the
recruitment, selection, training, compensation, benefits, discipline, promotion, transfer, layoff and termination
processes remain free of illegal discrimination and harassment based age, ethnicity, disability status, national
origin, race, color, religion, gender, sexual or gender orientation, marital status, genetics, and veteran status.
Regular review by Blue Ridge CTC, as described in this AAP, helps to ensure compliance with this policy
Internal Dissemination of EEO Policy
41 C.F.R. § 60-1.42
Blue Ridge CTC posts copies of the equal employment opportunity notices that comply with 41 C.F.R. § 60-
1.42(a) in conspicuous places (including, where applicable, electronic websites) available to employees and
applicants for employment. The following exemplify the methods and locations Blue Ridge CTC may use in its
ongoing efforts to ensure continuing dissemination of its policy and plan, although Blue Ridge CTC may not
always use each or any of the below methods, and it may use other methods not listed below:
1. Internal employee manuals contain the policy statement.
2. The policy statement is posted on bulletin boards accessible to employees.
3. Blue Ridge CTC references the policy and progress in its annual report, newspaper, magazine
and other publications.
4. Orientation meetings for new employees and in-house employment-related training include
references to Blue Ridge CTC's policy.
5. Blue Ridge CTC publications, if any, including those with photographs, generally feature
individuals of diverse age, ethnicity, disability status, national origin, race, color, religion,
gender, sexual or gender orientation, marital status, genetics, and veteran status where feasible.
6. Pertinent portions of Blue Ridge CTC’s Affirmative Action Plan are available during regular
business hours for inspection by employees and applicants for employment.
External Dissemination of EEO Policy
41 C.F.R. § 60-1.41; 41 C.F.R. § 60-1.5
1. In solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on its behalf, Blue Ridge CTC
complies with at least one of the following methods regarding the dissemination of its equal
employment opportunity clause:

advertisements under a caption which clearly states that all employers in the group assure
all qualified applicants equal consideration for employment without regard to age,
ethnicity, disability status, national origin, race, color, religion, gender, sexual or gender
orientation, marital status, genetics, or veteran status unless prohibited by law. 41
C.F.R.§ 1.41(c).
d. Blue Ridge CTC uses a single advertisement in which appears in clearly-distinguishable
type the phrase “an equal employment opportunity employer.” 41 C.F.R.§ 1.41(d). When
pictures are included in these media, where feasible, efforts will be made to include
pictures of individuals of diverse age, ethnicity, disability status, national origin, race,
color, religion, gender, sexual or gender orientation, marital status, genetics, or veteran
status.
2. The following exemplify the methods and locations Blue Ridge CTC may use in its ongoing
efforts to ensure continuing dissemination of its policy and plan, although Blue Ridge CTC may

its obligations to equal employment opportunity and about Blue Ridge CTC’s plan.
b. Blue Ridge CTC advises recruitment sources, minority and female organizations,
community agencies, leaders, secondary schools and colleges annually in writing of its
commitment to this policy and plan. Blue Ridge CTC informs these sources that job
applicants will be treated fairly without regard to their age, ethnicity, disability status,
national origin, race, color, religion, gender, sexual or gender orientation, marital status,
genetics, or veteran status.
c. Blue Ridge CTC communicates with the state employment security office in writing
regarding the policy.
d. Blue Ridge CTC advises prospective employees of the existence of the AAP and makes

similar actions.
Development & Execution of Action-Oriented Programs
41 C.F.R. § 60-2.17(c)
Blue Ridge CTC has instituted action-oriented programs designed to eliminate any problem areas, should they
exist, in accordance with § 60-2.17(b), and to help achieve specific affirmative action goals. Blue Ridge CTC
also makes a good-faith effort to remove identified barriers, expand employment opportunities, and produce
measurable results. These programs may include items such as:

related duties and responsibilities.
2. Annually reviewing job qualifications by department and job title for job-relatedness, and using
job performance criteria.

disability status, national origin, race, color, religion, gender, sexual or gender orientation,
marital status, genetics, or veteran status. Blue Ridge CTC recognizes the duty, should the need
arise, to make good faith efforts to remedy any statistically significant underutilization of
minorities and women. Accordingly, Blue Ridge CTC commits to evaluating the total selection
process to ensure freedom from bias based on age, ethnicity, disability status, national origin,
race, color, religion, gender, sexual or gender orientation, marital status, genetics, and veteran
status through:

job-related and consistent with business necessity;
c. Providing assistance, such as training and guidance on proper interviewing techniques
and EEO training, to employees, management, and supervisory staff, including, but not

related processes, so that personnel actions remain neutral to age, ethnicity, disability
status, national origin, race, color, religion, gender, sexual or gender orientation, marital
status, genetics, and veteran status; and
d. Reviewing selection techniques and employment standards.
5. Blue Ridge CTC employs appropriate methods to attempt to improve recruitment and increase
the flow of qualified minorities and women applicants in its recruiting process, including a

women’s interest media;
c. Disseminating information on job opportunities to organizations representing minorities,
women, and employment development agencies when job opportunities occur;
d. Encouraging all employees to refer qualified applicants;

youth-motivation programs and other programs that foster exposure for qualified
minorities and women.
i. Blue Ridge CTC encourages minorities and women to participate in college-sponsored

sources.
6. Blue Ridge CTC reviews promotion criteria and procedures so that job qualifications form the
basis for the promotional decisions without regard to age, ethnicity, disability status, national
origin, race, color, religion, gender, sexual or gender orientation, marital status, genetics, or
veteran status. Blue Ridge CTC monitors promotion rates for minorities and women and, when

3. Evaluating job requirements for promotion.
Internal Audit and Reporting System
41 C.F.R. § 60-2.17(d)
1. Morgan Gower, Blue Ridge CTC's EEO/AA Administrator, maintains an internal audit system to

audit system is designed and implemented to measure the effectiveness of the total affirmative
action program [41 C.F.R. § 2.17 (d)(1)-(4)], including:

disability status, national origin, race, color, religion, gender, sexual or gender orientation,
marital status, genetics, or veteran status cannot result, provided that separate or single-user
restrooms and necessary dressing or sleeping areas shall be provided to ensure privacy between

total applicants, total minority applicants, and total female applicants, where necessary and
feasible, and conducts regular reviews at least annually; c) applicant flow showing the name,
race, sex, date of application, job title, interview status, and the action taken for all individuals
applying for job opportunities, and the relevant applicant/hire decisions; d) summary data of
external job offers and hires, promotions, resignations, terminations, and layoffs by job group
and by sex and minority group identification; e) and records pertaining to its compensation
system.
5. Provide needed reports to managers and supervisors regarding the results of the audit as well as

4. Blue Ridge CTC makes no distinction based upon sex in employment opportunities, wages,
hours, or other conditions of employment. 41 C.F.R §60-20.3(c).

11. Blue Ridge CTC's wage schedules are not related to or based on the sex of an employee. 41
C.F.R. § 60-20.5(a). Further, Blue Ridge CTC does not discriminatorily restrict one sex to
certain job classifications, and instead must take steps to make jobs available to all qualified
employees in all classifications without regard to sex. 41 C.F.R. § 60-20.5(b).
12. When appropriate, Blue Ridge CTC makes affirmative efforts to increase the number and
percentage of women in the workforce, including, but not limited to the following:

positions historically labeled by society as "traditionally male".
b. Blue Ridge CTC guarantees equal, gender-neutral access to training and tuition
reimbursement programs, including management training, and other types of workplace

Pursuant to the guidelines prohibiting discrimination on the basis of religion or national origin, 41 C.F.R. § 60-
50.1, et seq., Blue Ridge CTC hereby reaffirms that it does not discriminate against employees, or applicants for
employment, because of religion or national origin. Blue Ridge CTC takes affirmative action to seek to ensure
that employees or applicants for employment are treated without regard to their religion or national origin in all
aspects of the terms and conditions of employment, such as upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment,
recruitment advertising, layoff, termination, rates of pay (or other forms of compensation), and selection for
training.
Blue Ridge CTC has reviewed its employment practices and determined that its employees, including those who
belong to religious or ethnic groups, have received fair consideration for job opportunities. Based upon its
review, and depending upon the circumstances, Blue Ridge CTC will undertake appropriate actions, which may
include one or more of the following activities:
1. Issuing a policy directive to employees reaffirming the Blue Ridge CTC’s obligation to provide
equal employment opportunity without regard to religion or national origin. This policy will be
communicated in such a manner as to foster understanding, acceptance, and support among
executives, managers, supervisors, and other employees, and to encourage such persons to take
the necessary action to aid Blue Ridge CTC in meeting its obligations.
2. Developing internal procedures to seek to ensure that Blue Ridge CTC’s obligation to provide equal
employment opportunity, without regard to religion or national origin, is being fully
implemented. Specifically, employment activities are reviewed by the EEO Administrator.
3. Informing management annually of its commitment to equal employment opportunity, without
regard to religion or national origin.
4. Enlisting the assistance and support of recruitment sources for this commitment.
Blue Ridge CTC acknowledges its responsibility to make reasonable accommodations for the religious
observances and practices of its existing or prospective employees under the terms of Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964. An accommodation for religious purposes will be denied should Blue Ridge CTC
determine that it would have to suffer undue hardship. During this accommodation evaluation, the following
factors will continue to be considered by Blue Ridge CTC:
1. Business necessity;
2. Financial costs and expenses; and
3. Resulting personnel problems.
Organizational Profile
Contractors and subcontractors are required to include in their AAPs an organizational
profile of their workforce using either a “workforce analysis” or “organizational display”
that provides detailed data reflecting staffing patterns within the establishment. 41 C.F.R.
§ 60-2.11. An organizational profile shows the staffing pattern within a contractor’s
establishment. This profile assists an employer in identifying where, in the workforce of
its site which is the subject of this AAP, women or minorities are underrepresented or
concentrated. A workforce analysis is used in this AAP, which lists each job title from
the lowest paid to the highest paid within each department or similar organizational unit.

Summary
Job Group Analysis
Contractors and subcontractors are required to include in their AAPs a “job group
analysis” by combining jobs at the establishment with similar content, wage rates, and
opportunities to form job groups. 41 C.F.R. § 60-2.12. The job group analysis is a
contractor’s first comparison of the representation of minorities and women in its
workforce with the estimated availability of minorities and women to be employed. The
job group is created by first sorting the various jobs at the establishment into job groups,
which is a collection of jobs in an organization with similar job content (field of work
and/or skill level), similar promotional opportunities, and similar compensation. The job
groups then are developed to fit the unique characteristics of each organizational unit,
taking into account the size, type, and complexity of the work performed. Contractors,
after combining the job titles for the job group analysis, must then separately provide the
percentage of minorities and the percentage of women they employ in each job group.

Availability Analysis
Contractors and covered Federal subcontractors, after aggregating individual jobs into job
groups, are then required to determine the availability of women and minorities for those
job groups. 41 C.F.R. § 60-2.14. “Availability” is a percentage estimate of the women
and minorities who have the skills required to perform the jobs within the job groups. To
determine the availability percentages, contractors are required to consider two factors:
1) factors reflecting the availability outside the contractor’s workforce (such as people in
the immediate labor area or reasonable recruitment area); and, 2) factors affecting the
availability inside the contractor’s own workforce (such as people who are qualified and
available by transfer, promotion, or training). Contractors typically rely on the most
current U.S. Census data to develop their external availability factors, and on their own
workforce numbers to develop their internal availability factors. Both external and
internal factors must be considered, but contractors may “weight” each of the two factors
according to each factor’s relevance to the job group in question. Such weighting is
included in the following availability statistics for each job group.
After a contractor has formulated job groups and determined the minority and female
availability percentages for each job group, it must then compare the actual utilization of
minorities and women in each job group with their estimated availability, and identify
those job groups where the percentage of women and/or minorities employed is less than
would reasonably be expected given their availability. 41 C.F.R. § 60-2.15.

Placement Goals
Contractors and subcontractors must compare the percentage of minorities and women in
each job group with the availability for those job groups as calculated in this AAP. 41
C.F.R. § 60-2.13 to 60.2.15. When the percentage of minorities or women in a job group
is less than would be reasonably expected given their availability, contractors are
required to establish placement goals, which also serve as reasonably attainable
objectives to measure progress toward achieving equal employment opportunity. 41
C.F.R. § 60-2.16.
Contractors may use a number of methods to determine whether their actual employment
percentage of minorities and/or females is lower than would reasonably be expected,
including the need to set a placement goal when: 1) there is “any difference” between the
availability percentage and the employment percentage; 2) actual employment is less than
80 percent of calculated availability (which is the expected representation); or, 3) the
difference between the actual and expected employment is statistically significant. Any
reasonable method, as long as it is uniformly applied, is acceptable to the OFCCP.
Placement goals are established as a percentage equal to the calculated availability and
serve as objectives or targets reasonably attainable by means of applying every good faith
effort to make all aspects of the entire affirmative action program work. 41 C.F.R. § 60-
2.16. Although a contractor is required to make good faith efforts to meet its goals,
the goals are not allowed under law to be quotas (with the exception of a few
circumstances, such as when there is a court order to remedy prior unlawful
discrimination.)

*The establishment of a "Placement Goal" does not amount to an admission of impermissible conduct. It is neither a finding of lawful discrimination nor a finding of a lack of a
good faith affirmative action efforts. Nor does the establishment of a Placement Goal permit unlawful discrimination. Rather the establishment of a "Placement Goal" is a
technical targeting term used exclusively by affirmative action planners who seek to apply good faith efforts to increase in the future the percentage employment of minorities
and women in the workforce.
Progress Toward Goals Report
Contractors and subcontractors must maintain its current affirmative action plan (AAP)
and documentation of good faith efforts, and must preserve its AAP and documentation
of good faith efforts for the immediately preceding AAP year. 41 C.F.R. § 60-1.12 (b).
One of the key components to the effective implementation of an AAP is the
acknowledgement of progress toward the goals established in the utilization analysis of
the preceding year. As such, this is one of the items requested by OFCCP during a routine
compliance evaluation.
To compare progress toward goals, the contractor must measure the employment activity
that has occurred during the plan year. The variable here is opportunities which are
defined by OFCCP as total placements (hires plus promotions) into the job group.

In the case where goals were not met, it was due to a limited number of openigns and a lack of qualified applicants. The College will continue to monitor
its activity and apply good faith measures designed to alleviate these goals.
Disparity Analysis
Contractors and subcontractors are required to include personnel activity (applicant flow,
hires, terminations, promotions, and any other personnel actions) to determine whether
there are selection disparities. 41 C.F.R. § 60-2.17 (b) (2).
The Disparity Analysis is a tool to measure the statistical relationship between two
selected groups. The following report identifies whether the rates of those hired,
promoted, or terminated are similar without regard to race or gender.

Introduction
Blue Ridge Community & Technical College (Blue Ridge CTC) sets forth this affirmative action
program (“AAP”) for the year from May 1, 2020 through April 30, 2021, reaffirming its commitment to
the spirit and letter of affirmative action law. Through the implementation of this plan Blue Ridge CTC
continues its efforts to comply with appropriate government regulations and to make the best possible
use of personnel while contributing to the betterment of society and the community.
In developing this AAP, Blue Ridge CTC recognizes its duty to ensure equal employment opportunity.
The following statement of policy reinforces that belief.
Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Statement
41 C.F.R. § 60-300.44(a)
In setting forth this plan Blue Ridge CTC reaffirms its belief and commitment in equal employment
opportunity for all employees and applicants for employment in all terms and conditions of employment.
Morgan Gower, as the EEO Administrator, oversees the plan development, modification,
implementation, and reporting requirements and conducts management updates. Blue Ridge CTC’s [top
U.S. executive, such as its CEO or Chief of its U.S. division of a foreign University] supports Blue
Ridge CTC’s AAP.
Blue Ridge CTC provides for an audit and reporting system regarding Blue Ridge CTC’s affirmative
action responsibilities under the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as
amended (“VEVRAA”) regulations, and assigns overall responsibility for the implementation of
affirmative action responsibilities under these regulations.
Blue Ridge CTC recruits, hires, trains and promotes persons in all job titles, and ensures that all
personnel actions are administered without regard to protected veteran status; and ensures that all
employment actions are based only on valid job requirements. Blue Ridge CTC’s employees and
applicants are not subjected to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion, or discrimination because
they have engaged in or may engage in any of the following activities:
1. filing a complaint with Blue Ridge CTC or with Federal, state, or local agencies
regarding the status covered under this AAP;
2. assisting or participating in any investigation, compliance review, hearing, or any other
activity related to the administration of any Federal, State, or local requiring equal
employment opportunity for protected veterans;
3. opposing any act or practice made unlawful by Section 503 or its implementing
regulation, or any other Federal, State or local law requiring equal opportunity for
protected veterans; or
4. exercising any other right protected by VEVRAA or its implementing regulations.
2
Blue Ridge CTC’s full AAP, absent the data metrics required by 41 CFR § 60-300.44(k), is available for
inspection upon request at the location and during the hours that are posted at Blue Ridge CTC’s
establishment [or during regular working hours] at Blue Ridge CTC’s Human Resources Office.
Definitions. For the purposes of this AAP, the term Protected Veteran” shall be defined as follows,
according to the VEVRAA regulations:
Active Duty Wartime or Campaign Badge Veteran means a veteran who served on active duty in
the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service during a war or in a campaign or expedition for
which a campaign badge has been authorized, under the laws administered by the U. S.
Department of Defense.
Armed Forces Service Medal Veteran means any veteran who, while serving on active duty in
the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service, participated in a United States military operation
to which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
Disabled Veteran means:
1. A veteran of the U. S. military, ground, naval, or air service who is entitled to
compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to
compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, or
2. A person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-
connected disability.
Protected Veteran means a veteran who is protected under the non-discrimination and affirmative
action provisions of VEVRAA; specifically, a veteran who may be classified as a “disabled
veteran,” “recently-separated veteran,” “active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran,” and/or
an “Armed Forces Service Medal Veteran” as defined by this AAP and VEVRAA.
Recently-Separated Veteran means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the
date of such veteran’s discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval,
or air service.
Pre-JVA veterans are those who would be protected by 41 C.F.R. Part 250 if it were not
rescinded, but would not be protected under 41 C.F.R. Part 300.
3
Review of Personnel Processes
41 C.F.R. § 300.44(b)
1. Blue Ridge CTC ensures its personnel processes provide for careful, thorough, and
systematic consideration of the job qualifications of applicants and employees who are
known protected veterans for job vacancies filled either by hiring or promotion, and for
all training opportunities offered or available.
2. Blue Ridge CTC also ensures that when a protected veteran is considered for
employment opportunities, Blue Ridge CTC relies only on that portion of the individual’s
military record, including his or her discharge papers, relevant to the requirements of the
opportunity in issue.
3. Blue Ridge CTC ensures that its personnel processes do not stereotype protected veterans
in a manner which limits their access to all jobs for which they are qualified.
4. Blue Ridge CTC periodically reviews such processes and makes any necessary
modifications to ensure that these obligations are carried out. A description of the review
and any necessary modifications to personnel processes or development of new processes
is included in this AAP.
5. Blue Ridge CTC designs procedures that facilitate a review of the implementation of this
requirement by Blue Ridge CTC and the Government. The procedures Blue Ridge CTC
uses are as follows:
a. the application or personnel form of each known applicant who is a protected
veteran is annotated to identify each vacancy for which the applicant was considered,
and the form will be quickly retrievable for review by the Department of Labor and
Blue Ridge CTC’s personnel officials for use in investigations and internal
compliance activities.
b. The personnel or application records of each known protected veteran includes (i)
the identification of each promotion for which the protected veteran was considered,
and (ii) the identification of each training program for which the protected veteran
was considered.
c. In each case where an employee or applicant who is a protected veteran is rejected
for employment, promotion, or training, Blue Ridge CTC prepares a statement of
the reason as well as a description of the accommodations considered (for a rejected
disabled veteran). The statement of the reason for rejection (if the reason is
medically related), and the description of the accommodations considered, is treated
as confidential medical records in accordance with § 60-300.23(d). These materials
are available to the applicant or employee concerned upon request.
d. Where applicants or employees are selected for hire, promotion, or training and
Blue Ridge CTC undertakes any accommodation which makes it possible for it to
place a disabled veteran on the job, Blue Ridge CTC makes a record containing a
4
description of the accommodation. The record is treated as a confidential medical
record in accordance with § 60-300.23(d).
Physical and Mental Job Qualifications
41 C.F.R. § 300.23 and 44(c)
1. Blue Ridge CTC adheres to a schedule for the periodic review of all physical and mental
job qualification standards to ensure that, to the extent qualification standards tend to
screen out qualified disabled veterans, they are job-related for the position and are
consistent with job necessity.
2. Whenever Blue Ridge CTC applies physical or mental qualification standards in the
selection of applicants of employees for employment or other change in employment
status such as promotion, demotion or training, to the extent that qualification standards
tend to screen out qualified disabled veterans, the standards shall be related to the specific
job or jobs for which the individual is being considered and consistent with business
necessity. Blue Ridge CTC reviews its job descriptions and qualifications to ensure they
accurately reflect job duties and responsibilities. The schedule is as follows annually; as
new job qualifications are established; and/or, when new equipment is installed.
3. No pre-employment physical examinations or questionnaires are used by Blue Ridge
CTC prior to a job offer contingent on such examinations and other requirements.
4. Blue Ridge CTC may use as a defense to a violation of its obligations in Paragraph 2
above that an individual poses a direct threat to the health or safety of the individual or
others in the workplace.
5. When Blue Ridge CTC conducts a medical examination or inquiry of a protected veteran
it will do so according to the terms and conditions of the VEVRAA and Section 503
regulations, and the results of such an examination or inquiry are kept confidential
according to federal regulations, which includes the following exceptions:
a. Supervisors and managers may be informed regarding restrictions on the work or
duties of the applicant or employee and necessary accommodations;
b. First aid and safety personnel may be informed, when appropriate, if the disability
might require emergency treatment; and,
c. Government officials engaged in enforcing the laws administered by the OFCCP
regarding individuals with disabilities or protected veterans, or enforcing The
Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and The Americans with Disabilities
Act Amendment Act of 2008 (“ADAAA”), shall be provided relevant information
on request.
5
Reasonable Accommodation
41 C.F.R. § 41 C.F.R. §60-300.44(d)
1. It is Blue Ridge CTC's policy as a matter of nondiscrimination to make reasonable
accommodation to the known physical and mental limitations of all otherwise qualified
disabled veterans unless it can demonstrate that the accommodation would impose an
undue hardship on Blue Ridge CTC's business, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of Section 503 regulations. Undue hardship will be determined by its
definition under applicable regulations under Section 503 including, but not limited to the
following: Undue hardship means, with respect to the provision of an accommodation,
significant difficulty or expense incurred by the contractor, when considered in light of
the factors set forth in 41 CFR § 741.2 (aa)(2), such as the overall financial resources of
the facility and the impact of the accommodation upon the operation of the facility (this is
not an all-inclusive list).
2. As a matter of affirmative action, if an employee who is known to be a disabled veteran is
having significant difficulty performing his or her job and it is reasonable to conclude
that the performance problem may be related to the known disability, Blue Ridge CTC
confidentially notifies the employee of the performance problem and inquires whether the
problem is related to the employee’s disability.
3. If the employee responds affirmatively, Blue Ridge CTC confidentially inquires whether
the employee is in need of a reasonable accommodation.
Anti-Harassment Procedures
41 C.F.R. § 60-300.44(e)
Blue Ridge CTC has developed and implemented procedures to ensure its employees are not harassed
because of their status as a protected veteran.
6
External Dissemination of Policy, Outreach, and Positive Recruitment
41 C.F.R. § 300.44(f)
1. Blue Ridge CTC sends written notification of its policy related to affirmative action
efforts to all subcontractors, including subcontracting vendors and suppliers, requesting
appropriate action on their part.
2. Blue Ridge CTC undertakes appropriate outreach and positive recruitment activities such
as some of those listed below that are reasonably designed to effectively recruit protected
veterans. It is not contemplated that Blue Ridge CTC will necessarily undertake all the
activities listed below or that its activities will be limited to the items listed below. The
scope of Blue Ridge CTCs efforts shall depend upon all circumstances, including Blue
Ridge CTC’s size and resources and the extent to which existing employment practices
are adequate.
a. Enlisting the assistance and support of the following persons and organizations in
recruiting, and developing on-the-job training opportunities for veterans, in order

fulfill its commitment to provide meaningful employment opportunities to
protected veterans:
i. Formal briefing sessions should be held, preferably on Blue Ridge CTC’s
premises, with representatives from recruiting sources.
7
ii. Blue Ridge CTC’s facility tours, clear and concise explanations of current and
future job openings, position descriptions, worker specifications, explanations
of the institution’s selection process, and recruiting literature are an integral
part of the briefing. At any such briefing sessions, the Blue Ridge CTC official
in charge of its affirmative action program is in attendance when possible.
Formal arrangements should be made for referral of applicants, follow up with
sources, and feedback on disposition of applicants.
iii. Blue Ridge CTC’s recruitment efforts at all educational institutions incorporate
special efforts to reach students who are protected veterans.
iv. An effort is made to participate in work-study programs with Department of

qualified protected veterans not currently in the work force who have requisite
skills and can be recruited through affirmative action measures. These persons
may be located through the local chapters of organizations of and for any of the
classifications of protected veterans.
vii. Blue Ridge CTC, in making hiring decisions, considers applicants who are
known protected veterans for all available positions for which they may be
qualified when the position(s) applied for is unavailable.

twelve months to evaluate their effectiveness in identifying and recruiting qualified
protected veterans. Blue Ridge CTC documents each evaluation, including at a minimum
the criteria it used to evaluate the effectiveness of each effort and Blue Ridge CTC’s
conclusion as to whether each effort was effective. Among these criteria shall be the data
collected pursuant to 41 C.F.R. § 60-300.44(k) for the current year and the two most
recent previous years. If Blue Ridge CTC concludes the totality of its efforts were not
effective in identifying and recruiting qualified protected veterans, it shall identify and
implement alternative efforts listed in paragraphs (f)(1) or (f)(2) of this section in order to
fulfill its obligations.
4. Recordkeeping obligation. Blue Ridge CTC documents all activities it undertakes to
comply with the obligations of this section, and retain these documents for a period of
three (3) years.

3. Further, in order to assure greater employee cooperation and participation in Blue Ridge
CTC’s efforts, Blue Ridge CTC has developed the internal procedures listed in this
section of the AAP for communication of its obligation to engage in affirmative action
efforts to employ and advance in employment qualified protected veterans. It is not
contemplated that Blue Ridge CTC’s activities will be limited to those listed. These
procedures shall be designed to foster understanding, acceptance and support among Blue
Ridge CTC’s executive, management, supervisory and other employees and to encourage
such persons to take the necessary actions to aid Blue Ridge CTC in meeting this
obligation. Blue Ridge CTC additionally considers implementing and disseminating this
policy internally as follows:

BENCHMARKS FOR HIRING 41 C.F.R. § 60-300.45
Benchmark: The purpose of establishing benchmarks is to create a quantifiable method by which Blue Ridge
CTC can measure its progress toward achieving equal employment opportunity for protected veterans.
The benchmark is not a rigid and inflexible quota which must be met, nor is it considered either a ceiling or a
floor for the employment of particular groups. Quotas are expressly forbidden.
Hiring benchmarks are set by Blue Ridge CTC on an annual basis. Blue Ridge CTC documents the hiring
benchmark it has established each year. Blue Ridge CTC retains these records for a period of three (3) years.
The current benchmark for protected veterans for this location is set at 5.7%, which matches the national
protected veteran benchmark.

Introduction
Blue Ridge Community & Technical College (Blue Ridge CTC) sets forth this Affirmative Action
Program (“AAP”) for the year from May 1, 2020 through April 30, 2021, reaffirming its commitment to
the spirit and letter of affirmative action law. Through the implementation of this plan Blue Ridge CTC
continues its efforts to comply with Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (“Section 503”) and
its implementing regulations, as amended, and to make the best possible use of personnel while
contributing to the betterment of society and the community.
In developing this plan, Blue Ridge CTC recognizes its duty to ensure equal employment opportunity
for, and to prevent discrimination against, individuals with disabilities. The following statement of
policy reinforces that belief.
Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Statement 41 C.F.R. § 60-741.44(a)
In setting forth this plan Blue Ridge CTC reaffirms its belief and commitment in equal employment
opportunity for all employees and applicants for employment in all terms and conditions of employment.
Morgan Gower, as the EEO Administrator, oversees the plan development, modification,
implementation, and reporting requirements and conducts management updates. Blue Ridge CTC’s [top
U.S. executive, such as its CEO or Chief of its U.S. division of a foreign company] supports Blue Ridge
CTC’s AAP.
Blue Ridge CTC provides for an audit and reporting system regarding Blue Ridge CTC’s affirmative
action responsibilities under Section 503 regulations, and assigns overall responsibility for the
implementation of affirmative action responsibilities under these regulations.
Blue Ridge CTC recruits, hires, trains and promotes persons in all job titles, and ensures that all
personnel actions are administered without regard to disability; and ensures that all employment actions
are based only on valid job requirements. Blue Ridge CTC’s employees and applicants are not
subjected to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion, or discrimination because they have engaged in
or may engage in any of the following activities:
1. filing a complaint with Blue Ridge CTC or with Federal, state, or local agencies regarding
the status covered under this AAP;
2. assisting or participating in any investigation, compliance review, hearing, or any other
activity related to the administration of any Federal, State, or local requiring equal
employment opportunity for individuals with disabilities;
3. opposing any act or practice made unlawful by Section 503 or its implementing regulation,
or any other Federal, State or local law requiring equal opportunity for individuals with
disabilities; or
4. exercising any other right protected by section 503 or its implementing regulations in this
part.
2
Blue Ridge CTC’s full AAP, absent the data metrics required by 41 CFR § 60-741.44(k), shall be
available for inspection upon request at the location and during the hours that are posted at Blue Ridge
CTC’s establishment [or during regular working hours] at Blue Ridge CTC’s Human Resources Office.
Review of Personnel Processes 41 C.F.R. § 741.44(b)
1. Blue Ridge CTC ensures its personnel processes provide for careful, thorough,
and systematic consideration of the job qualifications of applicants and employees
with known disabilities for job vacancies filled either by hiring or promotion, and
for all training opportunities offered or available.
2. Blue Ridge CTC also ensures its personnel processes do not stereotype
individuals with disabilities in a manner which limits their access to jobs for
which they are qualified.
3. Blue Ridge CTC also ensures its applicants and employees with disabilities have
equal access to its personnel processes, including those implemented through
information and communications technologies.
4. Blue Ridge CTC provides necessary reasonable accommodation to ensure
applicants and employees with disabilities receive equal opportunity in the
operation of personnel processes. Blue Ridge CTC periodically reviews such
processes and makes any necessary modifications to ensure that these obligations
are carried out. Blue Ridge CTC designs procedures that facilitate a review of the
implementation of this requirement by Blue Ridge CTC and the Government. A
description of the review and any necessary modifications to personnel processes
or development of new processes are included in this AAP, and are as follows:
a. The application or personnel form of each known applicant who is an
individual with a disability is annotated to identify each vacancy for which
the applicant was considered, and the form is quickly retrievable for review
by the Department of Labor and Blue Ridge CTC’s personnel officials for
use in investigations and internal compliance activities.
b. The personnel or application record of each known individual with a
disability includes: (i) the identification of each promotion for which the
individual with a disability was considered, and (ii) the identification of
each training program for which the individual with a disability was
considered.
c. In each case where an employee or applicant who is an individual with a
disability is rejected for employment, promotion, or training, Blue Ridge
CTC prepares a statement of the reason as well as a description of the
accommodations considered. The statement of the reason for rejection (if the
reason is medically related), and the description of the accommodations
considered, are treated as confidential medical records in accordance with
41 C.F.R. § 60-741.23(d). These materials are available to the applicant or
employee concerned upon request.
3
d. Where applicants or employees are selected for hire, promotion, or training
and Blue Ridge CTC undertakes any accommodation which makes it
possible for him or her to place an individual with a disability on the job,
Blue Ridge CTC makes a record containing a description of the
accommodation. The record is treated as a confidential medical record in
accordance with § 60-741.23(d).
Review of Physical and Mental Job Qualifications 41 C.F.R. § 60-741.44(c)
1. Blue Ridge CTC has the following schedule for its review of physical and mental
job qualification standards to ensure that, to the extent qualification standards tend
to screen out qualified people with disabilities, such qualifications are job-related
for the position in question and consistent with business necessity, and adheres to
this schedule. The schedule is as follows annually; as new job qualifications are
established; and/or, when new equipment is installed.
2. Whenever Blue Ridge CTC applies physical or mental qualification standards in
the selection of applicants or employees for employment or other changes in
employment status such as promotion, demotion or training, to the extent that
qualification standards tend to screen out qualified individuals on the basis of
disability, the standards are related to the specific job or jobs for which the
individual is being considered and consistent with business necessity.
3. Blue Ridge CTC may use as a defense to a violation of its obligations in
Paragraph 2 above that an individual poses a direct threat to the health or safety of
the individual or others in the workplace.
4. No pre-employment physical examinations or questionnaires are used by Blue
Ridge CTC prior to a job offer contingent on such examinations and other
requirements.
5. When Blue Ridge CTC conducts a medical examination or inquiry of a person
with a disability, it will do so according to the terms and conditions of the Federal
Regulations implementing Section 503, and the results of such an examination or
inquiry are kept confidential according to Federal regulations, which includes the
following exceptions:
a. Supervisors and managers may be informed regarding restrictions on the
work or duties of the applicant or employee and necessary
accommodations;
b. First aid and safety personnel may be informed, when appropriate, if the
disability might require emergency treatment; and,
c. Government officials engaged in enforcing the laws administered by the
OFCCP regarding individuals with disabilities, or enforcing The
Americans with Disabilities Act (“the ADA”) and The Americans with
Disabilities Act Amendment Act of 2008 (“the ADAAA”), shall be
provided relevant information on request.
4
Reasonable Accommodation to Physical and Mental Limitations 41 C.F.R. § 60-
741.44(d)
1. It is Blue Ridge CTC's policy, as a matter of nondiscrimination, to make
reasonable accommodation to the known physical and mental limitations of all
otherwise qualified individuals with a disability, unless Blue Ridge CTC can
demonstrate that the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on Blue
Ridge CTC's business. Undue hardship will be determined by its definition under
applicable regulations under Section 503 including, but not limited to the
following: Undue hardship means, with respect to the provision of an
accommodation, significant difficulty or expense incurred by the contractor, when
considered in light of the factors set forth in 41 CFR § 741.2 (aa)(2), such as the
overall financial resources of the facility and the impact of the accommodation
upon the operation of the facility (this is not an all-inclusive list).
2. As a matter of affirmative action, if an employee with a known disability is
having significant difficulty performing his or her job and it is reasonable to
conclude that the performance problem may be related to the known disability,
Blue Ridge CTC shall confidentially notify the employee of the performance
problem and inquire whether the problem is related to the employee's disability.
If the employee responds affirmatively, Blue Ridge CTC shall confidentially
inquire whether the employee is in need of a reasonable accommodation.
Anti-Harassment Procedures 41 C.F.R. § 60-741.44(e)
Blue Ridge CTC has developed and implemented procedures to ensure that its employees are not
harassed on the basis of disability.

activities that are reasonably designed to effectively recruit qualified individuals
with disabilities. It is not contemplated that Blue Ridge CTC will necessarily
undertake all the activities listed in Paragraph (f)(2) of this section or that its

annual basis, reviews the outreach and recruitment efforts it has taken over the
previous twelve months to evaluate its effectiveness in identifying and recruiting
qualified individuals with disabilities. Blue Ridge CTC documents each
evaluation, including at a minimum the criteria it used to evaluate the
effectiveness of each effort and Blue Ridge CTC’s conclusion as to whether each
effort was effective. Among these criteria shall be the data Blue Ridge CTC
collected pursuant to 41 C.F.R. § 741.44(k) for the current year and the two most
recent previous years. If Blue Ridge CTC concludes the totality of its efforts
were not effective in identifying and recruiting qualified individuals with
disabilities, it identifies and implements alternative efforts listed in Paragraph 3
above in order to fulfill its obligations.

action efforts to all subcontractors, including subcontracting vendors and
suppliers, requesting appropriate action on their part.
5. Blue Ridge CTC documents all activities it undertakes to comply with the
obligations of this section, and retains these documents for a period of three (3)
years.
Internal Dissemination of Policy 41 C.F.R. § 60-741.44(g)
1. Blue Ridge CTC recognizes that even a strong outreach program for individuals
with disabilities may be ineffective without adequate internal support from its
supervisors and employees. Therefore, to ensure greater employee cooperation
and participation in Blue Ridge CTC’s efforts regarding its obligation to engage
in affirmative action efforts to employ and advance in employment qualified
individuals with disabilities, Blue Ridge CTC has developed the following
internal procedures. These procedures have been designed to foster
understanding, acceptance and support among Blue Ridge CTC’s executive,
management, supervisory, and other employees to encourage such persons to take
the necessary actions to aid the contractor in meeting this obligation.
2. Blue Ridge CTC implements and disseminates this policy internally as follows:
a. includes the policy in Blue Ridge CTC’s policy manual or otherwise
makes the policy available to employees; and
b. where Blue Ridge CTC is a party to a collective bargaining agreement,
it notifies union officials and/or employee representatives of the
contractor's policy and request their cooperation;
3. Below are some of the other methods Blue Ridge CTC may additionally use to
implement and disseminate this policy internally:
a. informs all employees and prospective employees of Blue Ridge
CTC’s commitment to engage in affirmative action to increase
employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities;
b. periodically schedules special meetings with all employees to discuss
the policy and explain individual employee responsibilities;
c. publicizes the policy in Blue Ridge CTC’s newspaper, magazine,
annual report and other media;
d. conducts special meetings with executive, management, and
supervisory personnel to explain the intent of the policy and individual
responsibility for effective implementation making clear Blue Ridge
CTC’s chief executive officer’s support for the affirmative action
policy;
8
e. discusses the policy thoroughly in both employee orientation and
management training meetings;
f. includes articles on accomplishments of individuals with disabilities in
Blue Ridge CTC’s publications; and
g. when employees are featured in employee handbooks and similar
publications, includes individuals with disabilities.
Audit and Reporting System 41 C.F.R. § 60-741.44(h)

UTILIZATION ANALYSIS 41 C.F.R. § 60-741.45
41 CFR § 60-741.45 Utilization goals. The utilization goal is not a rigid and inflexible quota which must be
met, nor is it considered either a ceiling or a floor for the employment of particular groups. These goals are not
quotas.
Goal: OFCCP has currently established a utilization goal of 7 percent for employment of qualified individuals
with disabilities for each job group in Blue Ridge CTC’s workforce.
Purpose. The purpose of the utilization goal is to establish a benchmark against which Blue Ridge CTC
measures the representation of individuals with disabilities within each job group in its workforce. The
utilization goal serves as an equal employment opportunity objective that should be attainable by complying
with all aspects of the affirmative action requirements of the applicable Section 503 regulations.
