HBCU Partnership Programs

HBCU First helps best-in-class companies develop & recruit diverse, Day-One-Ready talent. As the leading HBCU internship and mentoring academy, we empower top students — from 70+ Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) — with in-demand, college-to-career skills.

ADDRESSING AMERICA'S WORK REVOLUTION

Professional jobs are increasing faster than we can fill them, and most of us — from college interns to senior executives — feel undervalued and overworked.

This deficit in skills and morale is driven by the adoption of new technology, socioeconomic inequality, and our outdated approach to education & training.

HBCU First seeks to advance America's workforce by transforming how we educate & train underrepresented youth.
