2026 Verizon Immersion Program

Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) and Verizon are proud to present the Verizon Immersion Program.

For over 20 years, Verizon Communications has been a key player in one of the largest mergers in U.S. business history.

Originating from the combination of GTE and Bell Atlantic, Verizon has evolved through decades of strategic mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures.

Today, Verizon stands as a global communications technology leader, delivering on the promise of the digital world to millions of customers every day.

Verizon is deeply committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse environment.

The company values diversity not only among its employees but also within its supplier network.

At Verizon, diversity and inclusion are integral to success.

By embracing people of all backgrounds—including, but not limited to, race, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, veteran or military status, and age—Verizon cultivates a stronger company and culture.

Verizon takes pride in its talented and diverse team, whose dedication to customers drives the company forward.

Their collective intelligence, creativity, and spirit make Verizon a great place to work, learn, and grow.

We are thrilled to announce the 2026 Verizon Immersion Program—an exclusive opportunity for 25 students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to gain a hands-on, behind-the-scenes experience at Verizon’s corporate headquarters in Basking Ridge, NJ.

• Recruitment Preparation: Participate in targeted recruitment activities designed to help you stand out in future hiring processes.

This program is intentionally designed as a launchpad for future career opportunities.
