Our History

Y.E.S. To Jobs was initially created in 1987 in response to the NAACP’s criticism that the music industry lacked diversity in management positions. The founders of A&M Records convened a group of other industry leaders and concluded that an increased awareness of career options and opportunities for minorities was crucial because, “people can’t be what they don’t know exists.” Y.E.S. To Jobs was so successful that in 1991 it was awarded an NAACP Image Award for opening the entertainment industry to minority youth. Y.E.S to Jobs eventually expanded to TV, Film, Telecommunications and Video Gaming. Many of the leaders in media today are Y.E.S alums: TV producer Carl Beverly, President & CMO of Warner Recorded Music Eric Wong, and the President of Motown Ethiopia Habtemariam. All give credit to Y.E.S. in helping them to launch their careers. Clearly Yes2Jobs has the experience to do this!!
