SUMMARY:What Federal Contractors Need to Know: The New Executive Order on DEI Discrimination and False Claims Act Enforcement
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar:\nVirtual Only \nOn March 26\, 2026\, President Trump signed an Executive Order requiring all federal contracts subject to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act to include a clause prohibiting “racially discriminatory DEI activities”—and designating compliance as material to the government’s payment decisions under the False Claims Act. This webinar will walk through the key provisions of the new EO\, including its definition of prohibited conduct\, the mandatory contract clause and its six specific obligations\, the enforcement and penalty framework\, and the implementation deadlines contractors need to be aware of. We will also discuss the DOJ’s evolving enforcement posture under the False Claims Act—including the role of qui tam whistleblower actions\, Civil Investigative Demands\, and data-driven investigations—and offer practical guidance on steps federal contractors should be taking now to prepare for compliance.\nPresenter: Jenny Yang | Vicki Lipnic | Danny Petrella | Meredith Gregston (Moderator) \nRecording: https://us06web.zoom.us/rec/share/lcCztlAyA–Nw4pSSp7YAMGEqxe9QHP4nwaJQMtBROYiU5WR08AyM4aeNclcr0pJ.nJKemdij9XAK1S2x?startTime=1775149280000 \n

SUMMARY:I‑9s and E‑Verify: Employer Obligations\, Enforcement Risk\, and Best Practices for Immigration Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar:\nVirtual Only \nImmigration enforcement is a top priority of the Trump administration\, including heightened scrutiny on employer compliance obligations. All U.S. employers are required to verify employment eligibility by properly completing and maintaining Form I‑9\, and federal contractors must also use E‑Verify—a system that has become a best practice for many non‑contractor employers as well. Even employers that take these steps may still face government audits\, investigations\, or requests for I‑9 documentation from federal enforcement authorities. This program will examine employer obligations under the I‑9 and E‑Verify regimes\, highlight common compliance pitfalls\, and outline practical best practices for preparing for and responding to government inquiries. Being prepared for these requests is critical to ensuring compliance\, mitigating risk\, and avoiding unnecessary penalties or business disruption.\nPresenter: Craig Leen \nPresentation: NILG Presention I-9 and E-Verify Compliance\nRecording: https://us06web.zoom.us/rec/share/RdYyMyB9a6eniKZNh1DuGWmhca2P5yEzMHnFU_PGDlVW_u8n4RrqiapgRt3vn1Q.21bTl99AobPKZT4G?startTime=1776178879000

SUMMARY:Supporting Apprentice Success: Unlocking the Power of American Workers with Disabilities through Apprenticeship
DESCRIPTION:Join ODEP and EARN for a webinar:\nVirtual Only \nApprenticeships unlock career pathways. They combine paid work experience with classroom instruction\, preparing workers for high-demand jobs in high growth\, high demand industries\, including manufacturing\, technology\, and infrastructure. These are sectors central to national competitiveness and economic stability. To grow and to thrive in today’s economy\, employers in all industries need a highly skilled workforce. Supporting Americans with disabilities as apprentices helps industries and the nation stay competitive globally. The Office of Disability Employment Policy’s Job Accommodation Network\, known as JAN\, and Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability\, known as EARN\, are your partners in supporting apprentice success. EARN will share strategies on how to leverage youth and workers with disabilities as apprentices to meet workforce needs and boost productivity.

Reasonable accommodations ensure apprenticeships are available for all Americans\, including those with disabilities. Learn more about what accommodations work for pre-apprenticeships and work-based learning programs\, the role of Registered Apprenticeships where workers earn while they learn\, and how accommodations support the employment journey. \nAttendees will: \n– Understand what apprenticeship is and its importance to building a skilled workforce\n– Learn how to recruit youth and workers with disabilities\n– Identify the benefits of disability employment for employers\n– Explore the benefits of apprenticeship to Americans with disabilities\n– Apply successful accommodation strategies across the apprentice journey \nSpeakers: Julie Hocker\, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Disability Employment Policy\, U.S. Department of Labor (invited); Ellice Switzer\, Senior Extension Associate\, Development and Dissemination Team\, EARN; Matthew McCord\, Senior Consultant\, JAN \n
