The Leader Of Diversity Recruitment Publishing For Over 39 Years

Since 1968, Equal Opportunity Publications, Inc. (EOP) has led the way from affirmative action to diversity recruitment by publishing career-guidance and recruitment magazines for women, members of minority groups, and people with disabilities. "First in diversity, best in results" is the slogan that summarizes EOP's successful record of helping job-seekers from underrepresented groups find employment and aiding companies and government agencies eager to recruit from this diversified workforce.

Founded in 1968 as the nation's only interracially owned and staffed company, EOP, under the leadership of John R. Miller, III, founder, president, and publisher of EOP's seven magazines, and co-founder Alfred Duckett (now deceased), began operations by publishing Equal Opportunity magazine (1968), the nation's first career magazine for minority college graduates. Woman Engineer magazine and Minority Engineer magazine (both launched in 1979), CAREERS & the disABLED magazine (1986), Workforce Diversity For Engineering And IT Professionals magazine (1994), and Hispanic Career World magazine and African-American Career World magazine (2001) are the other titles currently published.

"First in its field, EOP has always been the harbinger of diversity employment trends that affect human resources managers, college students, and professionals in a wide range of disciplines. For 39 years, we have been the unquestioned leader in diversity recruitment publishing," says Miller. To maintain its leadership role, EOP has established its successful Diversity Résumé Database Service in 1998, which ensures that advertisers receive the best response to their recruitment efforts; hosts a Career Center for Workforce Diversity Website; and sponsors 4 annual Career Expos. EOP also hosts the CAREERS & the disABLED's "Employers and Employees of the Year" awards ceremony.

Copies of the BPA-audited Woman Engineer, Minority Engineer, and Workforce Diversity For Engineering And IT Professionals magazines are received by 296 accredited four-year colleges and universities that offer technical degree programs. Equal Opportunity and CAREERS & the disABLED magazines are distributed in bulk to all 1,400 accredited technical and non-technical universities. In addition, the magazines are subscribed to by students and professionals, human resources managers, and organizations advocating for the workplace advancement of members of minority groups, women, and people with disabilities.

"As we mark 39 years of award-winning diversity recruitment publishing and head toward the next century, EOP will continue to be on the crest of trends in the workplace," Miller explains. "The need for diversity in the U.S. workforce is a fact, particularly in the fields of engineering and information technology."

"The demand for talent in these fields is profoundly felt by every recruiter. EOP will continue to develop new publications, improved procedures, and value-added programs for advertisers to help them with appropriate strategies to meet their employment needs. And, we shall carry on our tradition to offer quality editorial that will aid our readers in their job search and with professional development."

In July 2001, EOP announced the launch of Hispanic Career World and African-American Career World, two diversity employment tabloid magazines for entry-level and professional IT job seekers. For additional information on these two exciting new recruitment magazines, click on www.eop.com.
