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.
