Social at Basta

Basta is closing the employment gap for first-generation students of color, enabling them to secure great jobs, launch careers, and change the face of leadership in the workforce. First-gen job seekers have what it takes to succeed but often face systemic barriers in professional knowledge, networks, and opportunities.

Since 2016, we have built innovative, data-driven solutions ensuring students convert their hard-earned degrees into a great first job. Through personalized career preparation and partnerships with top employers, we are accelerating the professional journey of thousands of first-gen students at 300 campuses…and counting! Basta participants are now thriving in first jobs at Bloomberg, Snap Inc., Citi, DonorsChoose, and over 100 other companies. Let’s jumpstart first-gen success together. Visit projectbasta.com.
