Specifically, early in fiscal year 2002, the Secretary of Labor
determined that, to transform itself into a more business-like
organization, the department needed to (1) recruit individuals who

universities to attract more business graduates and rotating
individuals with business skills from other agencies to short
assignments in the department, DOL officials decided to develop a
program that combined aspects of both types of programs.
