# Workforce Recruitment Program Spotlight: Rebecca Eigen

By By Kylie Young, EEO Assistant

                NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa.  –              
To celebrate National Disability Employee Awareness Month (NDEAM), the Defense Logistics Agency would like to feature Rebecca Eigen, a Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) intern at DLA Distribution Headquarters Public Affairs Office.

Eigen competed her undergraduate degree at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, majoring in communications and marketing. She learned about the WRP program through her university’s disability adviser.

“Participating in the WRP Program was an exciting opportunity for me,” she said. “I was excited to get hands-on experience. I also had the privilege of learning about the inner workings of the organization, which gave me a deeper understanding of its mission and values. My supervisor and co-workers’ wealth of knowledge has been invaluable, and their advice and insights have shaped my professional outlook.”

“I am grateful for the opportunity to work at DLA through the WRP. This program has not only allowed me to strengthen my skills, but it also has enriched my resume with valuable experiences. I am thankful for all the valuable experience and support I have received in both applying for the program and working at DLA.”

Eigen has been enjoying her internship and the work she is doing.

“My internship at DLA has been insightful. I have had the opportunity to work on a diverse range of tasks, from writing articles to design projects. My supervisors and co-workers have been incredibly supportive. They consistently provide insightful advice and are always available to answer questions, fostering an environment of growth and learning. This internship has enabled me to acquire new skills and refine existing ones. It has also provided me with material to add to my portfolio, which will benefit my future career. Overall. It’s been a wonderful experience, and I am looking forward to my remaining time here.”

Eigen believes that it is crucial for DLA to recognize NDEAM.

“I believe that it is important for DLA and other organization to recognize NDEAM,” she said. “This recognition serves to highlight the importance of disability inclusion in the workforce, which is a key aspect of diversity and inclusion policies. By recognizing NDEAM, organizations like DLA can foster a more inclusive and supportive working environment for disabled workers. I also think recognizing NDEAM emphasizes that individuals with disabilities should have equal opportunities to contribute their unique skills and talents to the workforce.”
