Career Development and Support - Bridge to Baruch (B2B):
The purpose of Bridge to Baruch (B2B) is to equip transfer students with the knowledge and tools to engage in career development work. As part of the Baruch Business Academy, B2B staff and students will reach out to QCC students even before they arrive at Baruch. The goal is to intervene with transfer students prior to the start of their first semester at Baruch - so that they are as prepared and competitive for early semester events and employment opportunities as continuing Baruch students.

In their semester prior to arriving at Baruch, transfer students will be encouraged to use the resources at the Starr Career Development Center (Starr) and will engage in one or more programs per semester sponsored by Starr while at QCC.The program has three components:

  1. Comprehensive Career Development: Students in the Baruch Business Academy can sign up for B2B the semester prior to their transition to Baruch. They will learn basic career development skills - fundamentals of resume writing, use of electronic career tools, networking and social media practices, experiential learning/internship searching.
  2. Employer Engagement: Students begin building relationships with employers through various employer events. Students will gain early access to Starr's electronic career management system during the intersession prior to their first semester at Baruch.
  3. Student Engagement: Students who complete the program will have the opportunity to engage in leadership and community building via a mentorship program. Transfer students who successfully participated in the B2B program may be paired with transfer students just beginning their transition to Baruch. The new Baruch Business Academy will extend the current B2B Ambassador Program to provide peer mentoring for students while at QCC and Baruch.

All students must successfully complete two (2) writing-intensive classes (designated "WI") at Queensborough Community College to fulfill degree requirements.
