For Students
You've already done the hard part.
EconMobility connects first-generation students with the mentorship, AI-era skills, and employer relationships that turn potential into a career.
Built for students like you.
EconMobility was designed for students who have the drive, the talent, and the grades — but not the network, the roadmap, or the financial cushion to navigate the professional world alone.
First-generation college student
You're the first in your family to pursue a degree — and you're figuring out the professional world without a built-in guide.
Navigating financial pressure
You've had to make tradeoffs that students with more resources never face — and you've kept going anyway.
High-achieving and motivated
Your grades, your curiosity, and your work ethic are not the problem. Access is.
Ready to invest in your future
You're not looking for a handout. You're looking for a door — and the tools to walk through it.
What EconMobility gives you.
Every element of the program is designed to remove a specific barrier between you and the career you're working toward.
1:1 Mentorship
Get matched with a professional in your target field who has been where you are. Monthly check-ins, career guidance, and a real advocate in your corner.
AI-Era Skills
Build the skills employers are actually hiring for — AI literacy, data fluency, communication, and domain expertise — through a structured, self-paced curriculum.
Employer Connections
Warm introductions to 180+ hiring partners, curated internship opportunities, and referrals from mentors already inside target companies.
Financial Support
Stipends for unpaid internships, emergency funds, and connections to scholarships — so financial pressure never derails your progress.
Cohort Community
Join a cohort of peers on the same journey. Peer accountability, shared resources, and a network that grows with you.
Alumni Network
Once you're in, you're in. Ongoing support, alumni events, and a community of EconMobility graduates who pay it forward.
Two focused pathways.
We go deep where first-gen talent creates the most value, rather than wide across every field.
