UC Campus Recruiter DEI Best Practices Series: First-Gen Students as First-Gen Interns & Employees
Description: We want to recruit the most diverse applicants possible and build an inclusive workplace, but how do we actually do it? And how do we know we’re not unintentionally doing things to push out underrepresented and marginalized applicants? In this workshop, we’ll discuss implications unique to First Gen students that inform recruiting strategies of employers dedicated to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. This workshop is designed for those who lead recruitment and hiring processes, but is open to all.
