BetMGM is partnering with The Tom Joyner foundation to provide an Executive Series for Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
The partnership between the operator and the group behind scholarship distribution and fundraising for HBCUs will begin this autumn, and will offer HBCU students the opportunity to “network with BetMGM executives and navigate the recruitment process” in preparation for career opportunities at the company after graduation.
The Executive Series will include executive-student panels as well as professional resume evaluations and job interview preparation. These workshops were designed to aid graduating seniors who are interested in careers in finance, marketing and HR.
The foundation was founded in 1998 by Tom Joyner (an ex-radio personality). It aims to provide scholarships, endowments, and other support for HBCUs. The foundation has recommended internships and provided career development and matching grants support to students who were eligible.
“Our goal has been to keep students in school, and it is critical that we ensure their success after graduation through phenomenal partnerships with organisations such as BetMGM,” said Tom Joyner, Founder of The Tom Joyner Foundation.
The partnership with BetMGM is an extension of the foundation’s mission to provide career opportunities for students. Virtual registration for HBCU student will open in fall 2022.
BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt commented: “We’re proud to partner with The Tom Joyner Foundation in working with HBCU students to help them identify pathways to successful careers. Our goal at BetMGM is to promote equitable candidate experiences and an inclusive working environment.”
