Welcome to the First Generation Students career community! While students benefit from a Pitt education, exploring career-building experiences outside of the classroom comes with specific methods for how to do so. This community will help first generation students to explore career resources, job and internship opportunities, and connect with alumni mentors, all of which will help plan a pathway toward your career.
These resources compliment the information provided in the Career Communities, where you will find resources for specific industries and areas of study.
To discuss or share additional resources for this affinity group, please contact Carol Balk at carol.balk@pitt.edu.
