Pfizer Inc. will place 100 young Black, Hispanic and Native Americans in a new fellowship program over the next four years as investors, employees and activists put pressure on big companies nationwide to increase workforce diversity.
Those selected will start with a 10-week summer internship, followed by two years of full-time employment at Pfizer, according to a company statement. They’ll also get mentoring to help with their development and a fully funded scholarship to complete a masters degree in business administration or public health. They may be students, or those just starting out in their careers.
