PRUDENTIAL
LAUNCHES
LATEST
PHASE IN
MINORITY
RECRUITMENT
PROGRAM
The Prudential has launched the latest
in a series of minority recruitment
programs aimed at Black college seniors
and recent graduates.
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.

Four North and Northeast Loaves & Fishes Centers are seeking volunteer
drivers for monthly recreational outings. These centers offer outings for
their participants with the help of the Volunteer Transportation Program, a

Each center is looking for one driver to contribute one day a month to
escort an active group on an afternoon outing. The drivers use a 12

volunteers receive training in the special needs of older riders in addition to
basic first aid and CPR classes. Drivers, insured by Loaves & Fishes must
be 25-70 years old and have at least two years of experience driving vans or
larger vehicles.
