Historically Black Colleges and Universities have been educating Black and African American students in STEM fields as part of their mission for well over a century. In order to provide students with opportunities commensurate with their Predominantly White Institution and other Minority Serving Institution counterparts, investment from corporate employers in the form of work-based learning and research opportunities is critical to ensure that students graduating have requisite skills to participate in the STEM workforce.

This webinar will explore how employers are partnering with HBCUs in impactful ways.
