We are First for a reason. But in reality, there are thousands of reasons – over 58,000 to be exact. That’s how many people work for us every day in the small towns and big cities across North America – putting their best foot forward to make a difference in their community and careers. People like Karen, one of our school bus drivers in Massachusetts, who stepped up big for a little boy when she noticed he was having a hard time on her bus.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSEE KAREN’S STORY\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n

\n\t\t\tBenefits\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\t\tLooking out for your future.\t<\/h2>\n\t

We are proud to offer competitive compensation, benefits and a promising future with the largest transportation provider in North America. We also actively encourage our employees to take care of their physical and mental health and have a range of initiatives in place across our divisions to support them.<\/p>\n\n\t

* Individual programs and benefits will differ based on role, location and business division.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tDiversity & Inclusion\t<\/h1>\n

\n\t\t\tBecause we’re stronger together.\t<\/h2>\n\t

We aspire to have a culture where all people are First. We strive to attract and develop a diverse workforce by promoting teamwork and embracing cultural differences. We all play a role in advancing an inclusive environment where everyone is empowered to share their perspectives, listen and respect others. We will achieve this by our leadership fostering a people-focused environment and engaging with our employees, customers and communities. In doing so, we will sustain an inclusive culture that supports future growth and fulfills our social responsibility.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"men-in-office-looking-at-ipad-22067_firststudent2806.webp?20250603\"\n

\n\t\t\tIn 2020, First was named by Forbes as one of the most diverse employers in the country.\t<\/h2>\n\t

What’s more, all employees here have the opportunity to make their voice heard through our employee engagement survey, ‘Your Voice,’ which measures employees’ satisfaction with the way they are managed, the pride they feel in working for the business and how likely they are to recommend us to others as a great place to work.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tDiversity, Inclusion & Belonging Council\t<\/h2>\n\t

As part of our ongoing efforts, we have formed a Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging Council to help realize our goal of promoting an inclusive environment that actively values diversity among all our team members and the broader community. Advising senior leadership, the Council helps promote and advance our inclusivity efforts while celebrating and advancing a diversity of voices and ideas. The Council meets monthly and is made up of employees from various departments and locations throughout First Student.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t“Diversity and Inclusion. As a company and as a team, we need to live it every day. It’s about dignity and respect for our passengers, our customers and the communities we serve.”\t<\/h4>\n\tJohn Kenning
