Wells Fargo ranked No. 29 on The Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity list in 2022.
Wells Fargo supports students from historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) through the company’s early career talent programs, including the Junior Leaders Conference, the ChangeMakers Summit and the HBCU Freshman Summer Experience in Corporate and Investment Banking.
Recently, more and more companies have been working to diversify their workforce, mainly looking to HBCUs. Wells Fargo is helping prepare students to succeed in their careers.
“We’re helping students build a foundation to navigate a large organization,” said Leroy Clarke, Global Head of University Programs Recruiting and North America Targeted Sourcing Leader at Wells Fargo. “Offering access to leadership, mentorship, training and networking creates an environment for success. We show them what life can look like for them here. It’s not a sprint. It’s a marathon, and we can help get you there.”
The company expanded its support of HBCUs in 2005 by partnering with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) and Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF).
“What makes me smile is our long-standing commitments and significant investments in HBCUs,” said Dewey Norwood, Senior Lead Diversity & Inclusion Consultant. “Wells Fargo has provided more than $34 million to support HBCU students over the last 10 to 12 years.”
