HBCU HIRE Initiative
The HBCU HIRE Initiative, established by TLN Worldwide Enterprises, is designed to expand recruitment and career pathways for students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Through this initiative, students and graduates gain access to employment opportunities across various industries, particularly within companies engaged in federal contracting.
Led by TLN, this initiative includes over 80 companies committed to engaging with institutions such as Livingstone College, Miles College, and Southern University and A&M College System. Each participating company is responsible for registering with the Handshake recruitment system, providing students access to internships and full-time job opportunities within the scope of federal contracts.
Additionally, companies support professional development by participating in industry panels, webinars, virtual events, or one-on-one mentoring annually. To ensure accountability and effectiveness, participating organizations provide annual reports on their hiring efforts and maintain a signed agreement with TLN Worldwide Enterprises to uphold their commitments under the HBCU HIRE Initiative.
In alignment with Executive Order 13779, this initiative broadens access to federal programs and enhances private-sector collaboration with HBCUs, supporting workforce readiness and career advancement.
