“Workforce development should be sustainable and holistic; introducing new talent to career opportunities while filling disparity gaps and proactively feeding leadership succession. We have too many graduates and certificate holders to have empty desks, tech bays, and driver’s seats. And what has been, is not optimal. Black Fleet Network understands this and we’re addressing it head on. For fleets and suppliers who are sincere about career advancement and diversity, we’re calling you to partner with us. Corporate relevance and in-house innovation are just a couple of benefits you’ll experience,” said Exavious Farley, CEO and founder of Black Fleet Network.
