Sean “Diddy” Combs has landed a partnership with Endeavor that will help usher in a new generation of executives across the entertainment industry. The Excellence Program seeks to provide students from marginalized communities with an opportunity to learn more about entertainment, marketing and fashion. Along the way, students will learn important lessons from Joey Bada$$, Cari Champion, Marshawn Lynch and several other industry leaders.
Combs was inspired to launch this program after reflecting upon his own career path. As a young student at Howard University, he traveled to and from Washington, D.C. to work as an intern for the late Andre Harrell. Years later, he hopes to provide another young student with the same opportunity to live out their dreams and pursue their passion.
“Beginning my career as an intern changed my life, so it’s been a lifelong dream to give the next generation of entrepreneurs and executives access to the best in entertainment, marketing, music and fashion,” Combs explained.
“Partnering with Endeavor creates a pipeline to opportunities that allow future leaders to not only succeed, but thrive in these highly competitive industries.”
The Excellence Program will kick off on July 12 with the “Igniting the Excellence in You” session. Students interested in learning more should visit the program’s official website.
