The Circle of Change First Generation Student Virtual Career Leadership Experience has been created by the Circle of Change Leadership Team to provide first generation students with a virtual career leadership experience that is specifically geared towards helping these incredible students position themselves for career leadership success after graduation.
With a lack of career readiness programs designed specifically for first generation students, the Circle of Change Leadership Team felt inspired and motivated to create a virtual career leadership experience that provides first generation students with a program that has been created to help them attain career leadership success in college and beyond.
Over this two day virtual career leadership experience, first generation students will not only hear from successful first generation professionals from top tier organizations who have thrived and succeeded after graduation, but more importantly, we will be providing specific programs that are designed to meet the needs of first generation students and help them increase their leadership and career competencies in an engaging, fresh, and fun way.

The COC Leadership Conference made an incredible impact on our students! Conference speakers and session facilitators were thought – provoking, skilled and provided practical strategies and resources for all attendees. Since our initial partnership with Dr. Fredenburg and his team, our students have enthusiastically shared their COC experiences with others and continue to excel on campus.
Circle of Change has impacted thousands of first-generation students around the world, and within my years in higher education at CSUSB, CSULA, SJSU, CSUF, and USC, the students come back transformed and with a new mindset focused on making an impact in their communities.
Circle of Change gave an opportunity for our first gen students to see and hear from leaders who looked like them and had shared experiences as them. COCLC inspired our students that anything is possible and that they have the power within themselves, now, to achieve great things for themselves and for their community to advance positive change.
Working at a California Community College, I see first-hand the powerful and life-changing difference Circle of Change makes in the lives of my students…especially first-generation college students. These students return empowered, self-confident, and with a plan of action to achieve their career goals. COC is a difference-maker!
