Future Black Professionals

Future Black Professionals, stand up! Find your circle + secure the bag. This Connection is hosted by the Student Startup Center, and we're here to support you in displaying your Black Excellence. Practicing your entrepreneurial skills improves your chances of career success, whether you choose to be an employee or entrepreneur. Over 60% of the Fortune 500 (the US's largest companies) indicated that the ability to think creatively is more important than intelligence. Over 70% of existing organizations cite innovation and "intrapreneurship" as a key factor in their future growth and success. Get these skills on lock, meet administrators and professors invested in your success, and connect with Build Black's guide to academic success. Entrepreneurship is for everyone. We are all capable. Join us on this journey! We'll walk you through step by step.
