3M and The BrandLab Partner to Expand Diversity in the Design Sector
The design talent collaboration includes the expansion of existing internship programs and the addition of a classroom program.
3M and The BrandLab (TBL) recently announced a two-year initiative (2020-2021) focused on driving diversity within creative career paths. This partnership aims to inspire young, diverse high school students to pursue creative careers, address opportunity gaps for underrepresented students, and embody a more culturally diverse population of creative talent for organizations that have a global footprint. The design talent collaboration includes the expansion of existing internship programs with TBL and the addition of a classroom program.
“As a member of The BrandLab board of directors and in collaboration with TBL internship program, we wanted to do more to build on this important mission,” said Eric Quint, vice president and chief brand and design officer for 3M. “Designing for a diverse global population across many markets is a great opportunity for any organization, so having the right talent representing local cultures and perspectives is key to driving meaningful brand experiences together.”
