Eugene WooBergen 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.”
