The structure of this event allows for students to gain insight about Career Clusters, your organization's corporate culture and policies that work to support employees from a wide variety of backgrounds. Our intention is for DINE to provide organizations exposure to top talent from different communities within our student population and to brand your organization as one committed to fair recruitment and hiring practices.

Representatives from your organization need to be prepared to speak about what diversity and inclusion means for your company. Representatives do not need to be from HR, however they need to be informed about the company, resources and opportunities, especially as it applies to diversity initiatives.
Representatives should showcase mentoring programs, pipeline initiatives and targeted internship opportunities aimed at increasing diversity and inclusion at your company.
Highlight philanthropic efforts your company engages with, especially those that highlight diversity and inclusion efforts.
