September 6, 2017 thewashingtonsun

(BlackNews.com) — A partnership has been announced between Merck, a global biopharmaceutical company known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada, and HBCUConnect.com, the largest social network and career site targeting the students, faculty, and alumni from Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

The partnership is designed to introduce graduating seniors (and graduate students) from Historically Black Colleges and Universities to Merck’s Leadership Development Program. The Leadership Development Program is an entry-level program designed to act as a conduit for emerging talent to train for leadership positions of increasing responsibility and visibility within key divisions of Merck’s business.

“Merck is a great company with great opportunities. They just needed a channel to communicate these excellent opportunities to the many talented students emerging from the Historically Black Colleges and Universities,” said Will Moss, founder and CEO of HBCUConnect.com. “These are the types of opportunities that are especially important for us to communicate within the African American and HBCU community, because they are opportunities that transform into leadership positions within a global company!”

HBCUConnect.com will host a free webinar on Friday, September 8th for interested candidates and HBCU faculty and staff members interested in spreading the word.
