BLK, the leading dating and lifestyle platform for the Black community, has just announced an exciting new program called the BLK MBA. This innovative initiative is designed to support recent graduates from Historically Black Colleges and Universities as they make the transition from academia to the workforce. But it's not just about finding a job - the program also aims to redefine professional and dating dynamics, as stated in a recent press release.
According to Jonathan Kirkland, Head of Marketing at BLK, the company's commitment to the Black community goes beyond just dating. "The BLK MBA Program is a showcase of our dedication to creating opportunities for professional growth and personal development for recent HBCU graduates," Kirkland explained. "Through this initiative, we hope to not only address the employment challenges faced by Black graduates, but also enrich our platform with diverse perspectives and experiences."
So, what exactly does the BLK MBA Program entail? Well, BLK will be awarding a stipend to three exceptional HBCU graduates to participate in a transformative summer experience. But this isn't your typical MBA program - participants will be immersed in the BLK community and will work alongside the brand to explore how Black Gen-Z approaches dating, networking, and creating connections.
But it's not just about the participants learning from BLK - they'll also be providing valuable feedback to enhance the user experience. As they actively network, meet other Black singles, recent graduates, young professionals, and business leaders, they'll also be going on dates with the goal of creating lasting relationships and potentially even finding job opportunities. BLK is excited to see how these inaugural participants will help shape the future of dating for Black Gen-Z, while also gaining valuable knowledge on effective networking.
With over 11 million downloads, the BLK app has been described as "the go-to app where Black love is celebrated in all its forms." It provides a safe space for Black singles in the online dating community, as previously highlighted by BLACK ENTERPRISE. And now, with the addition of the BLK MBA Program, the app is becoming more than just a dating platform - it's a place where Black professionals can connect, network, and grow together.
But the best part? The BLK app is user-friendly and available for free download. And for those looking for even more perks, BLK has recently added a new special feature specifically designed to appeal to spring breakers traveling to popular destinations, as covered by BE. So why not give it a try and see what BLK has to offer? You never know, you might just find love, friendship, or even a new job opportunity - all while being a part of a community that celebrates Black excellence.
