FirstGen@BCG Platinion
As part of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) efforts, we are actively focused on strengthening and emphasizing the importance of individuals' social backgrounds as a key dimension of diversity. FirstGen professionals are for example the first in their family with an academic background, the first in their family in an environment with a strong academic nature or the first time in touch in a consulting environment. Our FirstGen initiative collaborates closely with other teams and departments at BCG.

What our team says about us.
As part of the FirstGen initiative at BCG Platinion, I am committed to enable exchange among first-generation academics and any other supporters. The opportunity to share experiences and knowledge while building a supportive community both within and outside of BCG Platinion is why this initiative makes a difference and is important for me.
In an ever-evolving world, BCG Platinion is committed to embracing diversity in all its forms. Through our First Gen network, we actively connect, create, and enhance support structures, highlighting the extra effort BCG Platinion invests in fostering an inclusive environment and offering personalized support.
I'm part of the FirstGen@BCG Platinion initiative because it shows that you can be successful in your career with different family backgrounds and gives you the opportunity to create ways to spread this message to others who also don't come from an academic family.
The FirstGen initiative represents an important pillar in the context of more diverse social and educational backgrounds and integrates all people addressed here - the world is colorful and so is BCG Platinion.

FirstGen@BCG Platinion is one of our internal diversity initiatives. It is designed for colleagues who identify as FirstGeners (people which are the first in their family with an academic background, the first in their family in an environment with strong academic nature or being the first time in touch in a consulting environment, or similar). Through our initiative we want to foster the career of FirstGeners and also help to build a strong internal network.
