General Motors Financial Launches Pilot Program to Give HBCU Talent an In-Depth Look at the Auto Finance Industry
|
Posted By: Kennedy Williams on July 09, 2021 General Motors Financial has officially launched its first Sophomore Leadership Program to provide HBCU students with an in-depth, first-person look at the auto finance industry. This program serves as a part of General Motors Financial's participation in the HBCU Partnership Challenge initiated by the Bipartisan HBCU Caucus. “This program is part of our ongoing effort to increase diversity and promote inclusion within the company,” said Shunda Robinson, Global Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for General Motors Financial. “Diversity is about the pipeline. We recognized that we needed to broaden the schools we were targeting with our internship programs, so we developed the Sophomore Leadership Program to contribute to bridging this gap.” General Motors Financial’s Sophomore Leadership Program interns started on June 1, with the program concluding on July 23. Their internships will be performed virtually except for one week on-location at Sewell Cadillac of Dallas. During their internships, the students will job shadow team members from various functions such as sales, marketing and pricing. In so doing, they will learn about the company’s different job offerings and the core competencies required for each. And they will meet with senior executives, including a session with Berce. General Motors Financial employees will also lead skill-specific workshops for the interns, covering topics such as networking, personal branding, diversity, equity and inclusion, and personal finance from the KEYS® by General Motors Financial curriculum.
