WASHINGTON – To better promote diversity and create paths for the next generation of leaders in the workplace, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) and Shorter College signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that serves to promote information sharing, provide opportunities for students to learn about careers at BSEE, and develop relationships that support recruitment efforts.
“BSEE's agreement with Shorter College represents our commitment to meeting our strategic goals for creating a diverse, engaged, and mission driven workforce,” said BSEE Director Kevin Sligh. “Under this agreement, BSEE will have the opportunity to support the development of a diverse talent pool of students and help qualified students participate in our internships and workforce opportunities.”
The MOU calls for BSEE and Shorter College to establish a framework for collaboration that provides opportunities for students to learn about some of BSEE’s workplace platforms, including science and technology, engineering, computer science, and mathematics. BSEE will help educate students about numerous human resource professions, administrative areas, equal employment opportunity professions, and generalist fields.
