Winning with HBCUs: Supporting the Future of Diverse Talent

For nearly 200 years, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), have led the way to higher education for Black students. While HBCUs make up just 3% of U.S. colleges and universities, they produce almost 25% of Black graduates in the field of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), a field otherwise dominated by non-diverse workers. By empowering the universities that support Black students, companies across the US will be better positioned to minify this gap in diverse talent, helping to create the more equitable and inclusive workforces of the future. Primary Talent Partners (PTP) is a staffing and recruiting agency focused on helping their partners increase minority representation in their IT and STEM workforces, placing more than 3x the national average of Black STEM talent into contingent workforce programs with the Fortune 500(R). They’re able to achieve such great success due to addressing this talent gap at its source, focusing on helping reduce attrition rates among Black students.
