Primary Talent Partners is committed to promoting economic mobility through several workforce inclusion initiatives in the contingent labor and direct-hire programs we support.
Our organization is committed to promoting economic mobility by increasing opportunities for individuals attending institutions in HUBZones, areas designated by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to foster economic growth. We focus on equipping these students with the skills and resources needed to excel in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and professional fields. Through mentorship and access to paid opportunities, we are helping students gain valuable experience to build successful careers in IT, engineering, professional, and science roles.

Equipping students in STEM and professional programs
Building a community of talented individuals with modern strategies
Research shows that companies who foster inclusive leadership and broaden talent pipelines outperform their peers. Organizations with balanced representation in leadership are 21% more likely to see increased profitability and 27% more likely to achieve superior value creation. Similarly, companies with equitable access to opportunities are 35% more likely to exceed industry median returns.
Beyond financial performance, building a workforce that reflects a range of experiences and perspectives drives stronger decision-making, greater innovation, and higher employee engagement.
Companies that invest in economic mobility opportunities and expand access to career growth for underserved communities strengthen their reputation, making it easier to attract and retain top talent in a competitive market.
The diversIT Scholars program was designed to increase the number of underrepresented candidates in STEM and professional fields by offering substantive financial and emotional support to students attending institutions in HUBZones enrolled in a STEM program.
We collaborate with our industry partners to grant co-branded scholarships to students pursuing STEM and professional programs at institutions in HUBZones.
As these scholars progress through their college education, we provide mentorship and access to PrimaryPathways™ associateships with our clients, which we fully fund.
To support their success, we also offer stipends for housing, professional attire, and more, ensuring they are well-equipped for their internships. Additionally, we provide our networks the opportunity to hire these scholars upon graduation at no additional cost.
As part of our commitment to supporting higher education and inclusion, we allocate a percentage of every billable hour to fund scholarships. These scholarships are offered to diversIT Scholars and provide them with a range of benefits, such as:
