The Division of Affirmative Action (DAA) is the central affirmative action/equal employment opportunity (AA/EEO) office for the Wisconsin state government.  DAA issues standards, reviews and approves state agency and UW System affirmative action plans, and monitors agency compliance on an on-going basis.  The division prepares annual reports which evaluate state progress in hiring racial/ethnic minorities, women, persons with disabilities, veterans, and Wisconsin Works (W-2) and food stamp customers with dependent children.  DAA provides technical assistance; trains new supervisors regarding AA/EEO responsibilities; coordinates TOP Jobs [Targeted Opportunity Program] (formerly known as the Summer Affirmative Action Intern Program); and provides staff service to the State Council on Affirmative Action.
