Professional Diversity Network, Inc. Launches NAPW Dream Job Campaign
October 16 2017 - 08:00AM
Professional Diversity Network, Inc. (NASDAQ:IPDN) (“PDN” or the
“Company”), a global developer and operator of online and in-person
networks that provide access to networking, training, educational
and employment opportunities for diverse individuals, today
announced that it is launching its NAPW (“National Association of
Professional Women”) Dream Jobs Campaign. The Company’s goal is to
place 500 NAPW members in new jobs in the month of November.
According to Catalyst, a nonprofit organization with a mission
to accelerate progress for women through workplace inclusion, only
34% of senior level positions in the United States are held by
women. This initiative solidifies PDN’s support to the companies
who want to hire women and our members.
By participating in “Get Her Hired” members will:
- Receive early access to job postings via tailored alerts from
our network employers who have a focus on women's hiring
initiatives for executive level positions.
- Get their resume noticed. Gone are the days of applications
going into databases without ever reaching a hiring manager’s desk.
PDN’s career counselor will call our corporate partner to notify
them of a NAPW applicant and advocates on their behalf.
- Stay connected. Instead of having to spend hours doing research
on the latest hiring best practices, members will have access to
tips, tools and online training – saving them time and
money.
PDN President Star Jones stated, “As the number of women in the
workforce continues to grow, “Get Her Hired” strengthens our
investment to providing women the resources, professional
development, and network they need to advance their career,
allowing them to “Aspire—Connect—Achieve.”
PDN continues to focus on bringing global attention to women’s
issues, which grows awareness of networking, while specifically
spotlighting its brand within that broader conversation.
The Company previously announced that on December 2, 2017, it
will hold its First Nasdaq Global Capital Summit Forum, an
exclusive forum focused on entrepreneurialism in Beijing, China at
the Qiuhua Resort.
The event will be headlined by Bruce Aust, Vice Chairman of
Nasdaq and hosted by PDN President Star Jones. The event is
expected to be the Company’s highest attended event, potentially
drawing as many as 5,000 paid participants, setting the stage for
the Company’s 2018 growth plans.
