📢 Big News: Basta x ZS Partnership! 🚀

We’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with ZS, a management consulting and technology firm that partners with companies to improve life and how we live it. Together we aim to expand career opportunities for first-generation college students!
ZS is dedicated to unlocking untapped talent pipelines and providing early-career professionals with exposure to consulting careers—fields where many young job seekers don’t always see a clear path.

Through our partnership, we look forward to:
✅ Placing top candidates in career-launching roles
✅ Increasing awareness of consulting careers among first-gen students

Sonia Atsegbua, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Basta shares:” We are so excited to launch our partnership with ZS! This partnership allows us to connect talented Basta participants with competitive career pathway roles at ZS, helping them to build meaningful careers and shape the future of the workforce.”

Tre Pieczonka, Early Careers Talent Acquisition Lead at ZS shares: “We are thrilled to be partnering with the Basta community to continue to increase representation within the consulting industry. We have already had the opportunity to connect with amazing and talented young job seekers and are looking forward to building more relationships.”

Special thanks to Tre, Valerie Dionne and our Employer Partnerships team—Sonia, Vincent Restagno, and Shania Carroll —for making this collaboration possible.

Together, we’re not just filling roles—we’re building pathways for first-gen talent to thrive in high-impact consulting careers.
