Carrier is excited to announce it is partnering with Spelman College to create one-of-a-kind programs that will help students develop skills of the future. Carrier’s multi-year commitment will provide Spelman students mentorship, development and leadership opportunities in preparation for careers with Carrier. 

 

“At Carrier, we’re committed to building the best teams, and this starts with diversity of talent and ideas. We are proud to work with Spelman College, a leader in the education of Black women. The programs that we’re creating together will provide impactful student experiences and build a strong pipeline of talent for our company,” said Dave Gitlin, President & CEO, Carrier. “This partnership is more than financial support. At Carrier, we’re leaning in, investing in developing diverse leaders and developing and recruiting the workforce of the future.”

 

The five-year commitment will create two flagship programs, including The Carrier Ambassadors Program for Spelman Honors Students and the new Carrier Elevate(S) program, a leadership, development and mentoring program designed for high-potential juniors seeking engineering, sales, operations, digital and finance careers.

 

Carrier will also support the refresh of Spelman’s Virtual Career Center with new content and videos on careers in the HVAC, Refrigeration and Fire & Security industries and links to career opportunities with Carrier.
