Career & Education Opportunities
Through the Corporate Equity & Inclusion Roundtable, the Black Political Empowerment Project is working with local government, corporate, and business leaders to help the Pittsburgh region achieve the highest levels of diversity in employment and contractual opportunities.
One of the best ways reach this goal is through identifying local employment opportunities (at all levels) and sharing this information with the community ;and to highlight those businesses, corporations, and government institutions who are working to make the difference.
