Talent Development & Growth

"The Washington Commanders HBCU Career Catch changed my life by giving me firsthand insight into sports sales and allowing me to set myself apart through genuine curiosity about day-to-day operations. It was empowering to see HBCUs represented in the industry. That experience led me into the Sales Combine, which ultimately opened the door to my role as an Inside Sales Representative with the Commanders."

"The Commanders HBCU Sales Symposium was a turning point in my career, giving me direct exposure to the business side of the NFL and the opportunity to connect with leaders who truly invested in my growth. I was hired as a result of that experience, and four years later I'm still proud to be working with the organization—proof of the long-term impact this program can have."

"My experience with the HBCU Sales Symposium was a great opportunity to hear from the Team's leadership and gave me a platform to stand out amongst other soon to be graduates. Seeing the team's initiative to get HBCU students in front of their leadership was exciting to see as a fan and DMV local. At this symposium I made lifelong connections and was given an opportunity to show my skillset to sports industry professionals who wanted to help me find the best fit for my career."
