Launched in 2015, Generation is a global nonprofit network that supports people to achieve economic mobility and a better life. It's mission is to transform education to employment systems to prepare, place, and support people into life-changing careers that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Their employment programs prepare and place individuals into more than 45 professions across 5 sectors – technology, green jobs, healthcare, customer service and sales, and skilled trades – in 18 countries: Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, France, Ghana, Hong Kong (China), India, Ireland, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, Pakistan, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Generation’s seven-step methodology includes: (1) jobs and employer engagement from the start; (2) learner recruitment based on intrinsics, effort, and employment standards for the profession; (3) 4-16 weeks of technical, behavioural, mindset & professional presence skill training, with social support services provided; (4) interviews with employers for rapid job placement; (5) mentorship during and after the program and an alumni community that follows graduates into the workplace; (6) return on investment for employers, students, and society; and (7) a data-centered approach at every step.
