Bergen Community College

Bergen Community College student Eugene Woo is studying business administration to become an investment banker.

“As a student majoring in business administration with plans of transferring to a four-year institute, Bergen’s affordable and outstanding education, multitude of extracurricular opportunities, and strong credit transferability make it an exceptional start to my academic and professional endeavors,” said Woo.

Woo, of Mahwah, is one of 10 student interns in the inaugural data analyst program under the College’s Bergen for Business workforce development initiative. Through the program, he obtains hands-on experience and knowledge in data analytics.

“Being a part of the Data Analytics and Dashboard Program and being a Size Up Small Business Consultant intern plays a crucial role in achieving my career goals,” said Woo. “I actively work with small businesses, communicating, determining and implementing optimal solutions that suit their needs.”

Gaining in-depth training on programs including Microsoft Excel and communicating with local business owners is helping Woo become a high-level professional in the finance industry.  Woo’s experience has developed through his roles as co-founder of Bergen’s Investment Club and the secretary for Business Leaders of America.

“I attribute my academic success to Bergen’s dedicated faculty, extracurricular opportunities, and collaborative and friendly environment, as it has advanced my leadership and practical skills,” he said.

Woo expects to graduate by 2025.
