Decatur, GA – July 19, 2023 – WRK, a people-powered HR and staffing solutions company, is proud to announce its partnership with Meta for the highly anticipated NIL Empower 3.0 program.

The NIL Empower 3.0 program empowers female student-athletes by leveraging their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) across Meta’s platforms while cultivating a strong personal brand that extends beyond their athletic careers.
Meta, a recognized leader in the NIL space, shares WRK’s enthusiasm for this partnership. ”We’re proud to continue investing in women’s sports & NIL through this partnership with WRK. NIL is much more than making money, it’s an opportunity to prepare for life after sports. By combining Meta’s expertise in NIL education with WRK’s focus on career development, we can offer a comprehensive program that equips these talented student-athletes for success both during and after their college years.” says Becca Wathen, Meta’s Strategic Partner Manager of Student-Athletes and Sports Creators
As the career development partner, WRK will provide a strategic experience offering resources in career exploration and mapping. Through tailored workshops, athletes will gain real-world exposure to various roles, industries, and work environments, creating a valuable network to support their future endeavors.
“WRK is committed to maximizing potential, and I am thrilled to embark on another journey with Meta to impact the future of these student-athletes,” says WRK Founder and CEO Corinne Milien. “I invite other employers committed to fostering inclusion and championing the success of female athletes to join us in this important work.” Employer partners have the opportunity to contribute to the development of these athletes while engaging driven, ambitious, and creative talent for their organizations.
