CampusCareerCenter.com's DiversityConnect Helps Employers Recruit Diverse Workforce on Campuses Nationwide.
CAMBRIDGE, MA (February, 20, 2003) Campuscareercenter.com, the nation's leading campus recruitment company, reports that DiversityConnect, its diversity campus recruitment service, now features a database of tens of thousands of minority students on campuses nationwide. DiversityConnect is a version that has a similar interface and functionality to CCC's core service, CandidateConnect, except it offers employers the opportunity to recruit minority students who have voluntarily submitted information about their ethnic backgrounds to companies seeking to increase diversity in their workforce.
Matt Casey, President of Campuscareercenter.com says, "Recently, companies such as Microsoft and Lucent have been very public about their support for affirmative action programs at universities nationwide due to the void of minority computer science and engineering talent. While we applaud these efforts, it is evident that these and other Fortune 500 companies are not doing everything in their power to ensure they have access to the best and brightest minority new graduates and interns that are presently in our colleges and universities. DiversityConnect is a cost-efficient, effective way for companies and government agencies to reach these candidates."
DiversityConnect features a stand-alone database search service, incorporating the latest CCC online search capabilities, and inclusion in the CCC Diversity Center, that presently provides clients such as General Motors with a forum to vie for and attract elite candidates, through content offerings such as training program promotions that link opportunities with diverse candidates.
Through a series of grass roots initiatives and newly formed strategic career center partnerships, CCC has increased its presence on the most diverse campuses in the country to bring this highly targeted service to the market place. According to Shonool Malik, Assistant Director of Graduate Career Services at MIT, "this is a great initiative undertaken by CCC. It not only provides employment opportunities to students of various ethnic groups but also recruiting solutions to companies committed to diversity by bringing these two constituencies together."
