Internship/Job Search Kickoff!

It is never too early to start planning and searching for summer internships. With that in mind, First Graduate® college students attended an Internship/Job Search Kickoff event this week. The goals of the workshop was (1) to learn strategies that will help increase their chances of landing an internship or job and (2) to inspire students to take action and plan for their summer now.

During the event, students learned how to refine their resumes, sustain conversation and relationships through networking, and strengthen their interview skills through a mock interview. Special thank you to Marvell C. Allen, Principal of Millennium Career Advantage for supporting and facilitating components of the event!

Ramadan Mubarak!

Despite how difficult they can be to get, it’s impossible to overstate the importance of scholarships. Especially for a first-generation student, a scholarship can be the difference between being able to go to college and not.
