Recruitment

A Total Commitment to Our Communities

We are committed to diversity - in our employment practices, our purchasing decisions, our programming and our community investment. This is not only the right thing to do; it’s also a core principle for conducting our business - community by community.

Finding the right talent

Finding and attracting the best people from a wide range of backgrounds takes time, effort and a real commitment to the diverse communities we serve. That’s why Comcast participates in more than 100 diversity-recruiting events across the country each year and why the Comcast Recruiting Team has built a number of valuable partnerships with diverse professional and community-based organizations.

Developing our people

Our company can only be as strong as our workforce. We’re dedicated to each employee’s professional success. In fact, Comcast makes significant investments in career development and leadership programs that continuously help our employees achieve all of their goals. In addition, we’re committed to partnering with other organizations dedicated to growing tomorrow’s leaders.
