The Focused Approach (www.thefocusedapproach.com), a full service Human Resources consulting firm organized as a strategic partner for businesses and individuals in need of Human Resources services, today announced a 3-year partnership agreement with EDU Inc (www.eduinconline.com). The alliance between the two entities will result in the identification, and establishment of co-operative (co-op) assignments and internships for college students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities served by EDU Inc.

The Focused Approach has an established history and track record of developing “Talent Acquisition” strategies which include the development and establishment of student internships, co-operative education assignments, and new hire orientation programs domestically and internationally.

“We are always striving to improve the options for companies seeking to reach high school and college students seeking professional work experiences while attending college as a way of supplementing theoretical classroom assignments with a “realistic preview” of their chosen field of study, says Robert Mason, President of EDU, Inc.

"Acquiring talent for employers is a critical business task, and with the addition of our 'Talent Acquisition Search”' feature, we are able to provide business solutions for students and employers without interrupting the flow of the college education process, says Patrick C.
