The Black Accountants Talent Network (BATN) today announced a collaboration with the Pennsylvania Institute of CPAs (PICPA) to curate new and invigorating content for the Pennsylvania CPA Foundation's Virtual Accounting Career Day platform.
The virtual platform is a free experience for students, professionals and teachers to learn more about diverse career opportunities in the accounting profession and the advantages of the CPA designation.
The virtual experience showcases diverse CPA professionals and highlights their individual career paths with the goal of promoting the CPA credential and exposing students to the many directions a career in accounting can lead.
The platform currently features eight senior leaders within the CPA profession along with sixteen virtual college experiences for students and will soon feature Isaiah E. Bailey, (BATN) Founder and member of the PICPA Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Board.
