INROADS helps businesses gain greater access to diverse talent through continuous leadership development of outstanding students of color and placement of those students in internships at many of North America's top corporations, firms and organizations.

In response to the growing demand from businesses for talented, qualified people of color, INROADS was established in 1970 to identify interested, capable high school, college and university students who would pursue business, engineering, technical, and allied health care careers. INROADS recruits only the best students of color for pre-professional internship opportunities. Students must have and maintain a B or better average.

Today, INROADS graduates are pursuing professional and managerial careers in engineering, retailing, banking, accounting, manufacturing and telecommunications. Within that prestigious group, they proudly report that many of the alumni are successful corporate presidents and vice presidents. Others hold middle management to senior executive positions in both the public and private sectors. Still, many more have gone on to become successful independent entrepreneurs.
