You can use the map method from List class to loop through the entire list. Don't forget to call toList in the end, as Dart's map returns a kind of Iterable. Please see the code below.

class Employee {
  int id;
  String firstName;
  String lastName;
  Employee(
    this.id,
    this.firstName,
    this.lastName,
  );
}

void main() {
  List<Employee> employees = <Employee>[
    Employee(1, "Adam", "Black"),
    Employee(2, "Adrian", "Abraham"),
    Employee(3, "Alan", "Allan"),
  ];

  List<String> myList = employees.map((item)=>item.firstName).toList();
  print(myList);
}
