CareerTV Top Diversity Employers

The month of April saw the launching of CareerTV Show, by CareerTV, a career video website. The premier episode, “CareerTV Top Diversity Employers,” features employers such as Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, the US Department of State, and PricewaterhouseCoopers which students have voted as the most diverse in the nation. The show is available on over 50 college campuses nationwide on cable, video on demand, and closed circuit TV as well as available segments online at CareerTV.com. Executive Producer, Sean O’Grady, explains, “Every company is going to claim that it embraces diversity, but with this show, we took a look under the hood of major employers to find out what they are really doing to create diverse environments.” The show features advice from Frank K. Ross, the first African American to be named Partner at a major accounting firm, and from actor Tom Hanks. The episode also features career experts answering user generated questions. Drexel University Career Services Director, Peter Franks, handled a volley of questions from students around the nation in the popular “Mail Call,” segment. “We have received a lot of positive feedback around this segment and we hope to incorporate more audience generated segments in future shows”, adds Sean O’Grady. The next episode of The CareerTV Show will focus on “Top Socially Responsible Employers”. The show is scheduled to hit air April 30th. The CareerTV television show is an innovative, half-hour, magazine style program that dissects the work world from the perspectives of employees and company recruiters – giving the audience a sense of “what it’s like,” and “what it takes,” to work for some of the world’s top employers. The goal is to educate and assist CareerTV’s target audience, 18-29 year olds, in their job search.
