International Business Machines Corp. and Merck & Co. will form the core of a national hiring and training network created by OneTen, a coalition of major U.S. employers that has promised to help hire and promote 1 million Black workers into higher-paying jobs over the next decade.
The new OneTen virtual network, announced Tuesday, is designed to allow employers, employees, and training groups to collaborate on career development, job postings and recruitment as part of the initiative to get Black workers without 4-year degrees into higher-skilled jobs that pay, on average, $50,000 a year.
