more technical talent. Recently, Obama said the government will increase its funding for HBCUs by $100 million in the fiscal year 2011 budget. He also pointed to the nearly $400 million in federal Pell Grants, many of which go to students attending black institutions.
“The survival of HBCUs is vital, the president said, to the goal of making America a world leader in college graduates by 2020,” said Tyrone D. Taborn, editorial director of USBE&IT magazine and chairman and CEO of the maga- zine’s publisher, Career Communications Group (CCG). “We’re not only doing this because these schools are a gateway to a better future for Afri- can Americans; we’re doing it because their suc- cess is vital to a better future for all Americans. People want to work for an employer committed to their community. Black students and profes- sionals want to know more about what these organizations are doing for their colleges. “The bright side of the job market is that technical talent currents to be critical to employ- ers,” Taborn said. “HBCUs clearly are a source for highly skilled technical employees. President Obama is helping employers rediscover these great institutions. These schools continue to grad- uate nearly 33 percent of all black engineers.” Educational administrators from HBCUs listed 106 employers as Top Supporters. The ranking reflects the perception the deans and AMIE have of the total level of support HBCU engineering schools receive. The survey also shows employers support increasing for black engineering schools.
