Looking Ahead: Life After College by Alex
This spring I became the first in my family to graduate from college – with a major in Latin American studies, and a minor in education.
Looking Ahead: Life After College by Daisy
I’m thrilled to say that I graduated this spring and became the first in my family to get a college degree. For the past year, I’ve worked as a Senior Administrative Assistant in the Office for Student Activities at Mills College and developed customer service, teamwork, organization, data analysis, Excel, and training/mentoring skills. I loved it! I’m hoping to build on that experience and develop a career in accounting or business so I can help young adults with their personal finances.
Exploring the Possibilities: An evening of career exploration with LinkedIn, Hot Studio & The Bridgespan Group
A few weeks ago, volunteers from LinkedIn, Hot Studio and The
Bridgespan Group visited First Graduate to help our aspiring first generation
college graduates expand their ideas about the career opportunities available
with a college diploma. The goal was to introduce the students to industries
and companies that may not have previously been on their radar.
