The program reflects Prudential’s commitment toward actively seeking the brightest Black College graduates and offering them the opportunity to move up the corporate ladder. “ Many young graduates, particularly Black ones, bypass our company when they start job seeking because they feel we only offer insurance sales positions,“ said Donald C. Mann, vice president, Human R esources Department. “ We want to let those interested in working in the corporate world know that we have a variety of positions available, including opportunities in our marketing, systems, investment, comptrollers, and group insurance arcas-as well as many others. “ More and more minority students who have great potential for success in business are making the judgement that their degrees and college background are meaningless in the market place,” Mann added. “ The Prudential wants to dispel that belief with its new program, and it wants to let these students know that our company is a place where this potential can flourish.” Working with Caroline Jones Advertising, The Prudential has produced advertisements targeted to reach Black job prospec ts. The ads appear in leading Black publications and college newspapers, and reiterate the program’s message: that Black grads and future graduates should consider working with one of the nation’s largest diversified financial services companies, and that The Prudential is very much interested in working with them. “ Before You Must l ’ » — Make a Decision — “ Inquire about the services we o ffe r" Cox Funeral Home, Inc. 24 Hr.
