  • Stay at the forefront of industry trends, emerging technologies (including agentic frameworks and advanced AI/ML capabilities), and best practices in conversational AI, applying this knowledge to enhance client solutions and internal capabilities.
  • Facilitate client workshops for requirements gathering, solution validation, and user acceptance testing (UAT) oversight, ensuring solutions meet defined success criteria.
  • Manage technical escalations and proactively identify risks and mitigation strategies throughout the project lifecycle.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
