Black Student Fund’s Education Employment Network (EEN) is an employment referral program designed to increase administrator and teacher diversity in independent schools. By identifying and matching candidates and schools, EEN provides an outstanding applicant pool from which Member Schools  may hire African American professionals and those from traditionally underrepresented groups. Schools post current employment and career opportunities with EEN in order to facilitate the recruitment and hiring processes. 

The key components of EEN are:

• Recruitment
• Advising
• Referral, and
• Post-Placement Support
