The Hoffman Family Undergraduate Center for Career Development celebrates our diverse community of students at Babson College. Your perspectives and contributions as a First Generation college student are valuable, and we want to help you find the opportunities and career paths that celebrate all aspects of your identity. We understand that being the first may present a unique set of challenges, opportunities, concerns, and questions as you navigate the job search process, the world of networking, and transition into the workplace. We encourage you to understand your unique value and strengths, connect with communities and organizations that will support you, conduct your research, and utilize your resources as you aim to find a workplace with a culture that is safe, inclusive, and supportive of your intersecting identities. 

While at Babson, make sure you check out Multicultural and Identity Programs (MIP), the Semillas Society student organization and First Gen Living Tower.  

Visit our Canvas pages for job boards, newsletters, interview prep and best practices, professional career organizations and more. Specific details may be found on their respective websites or on Handshake.
