Private Event
First-generation professionals are trailblazers, forging a path into professional work environments that might be very different from those experienced by their families or loved ones. And while the experience might be supportive for some, the transition might feel insurmountable for others. It can even be fraught with complexities as their professional and personal worlds collide and sometimes even contradict.
Join us and first-generation professional advocate Bernice Maldonado to learn about her research on the first-gen experience and have a supportive conversation with others who have experienced this transition firsthand. You will also learn how to understand whether an organization’s culture is inclusive to first-gen professionals when choosing to take a job or starting a new role.
