2025 Global Alumni Survey
Download ReportA path to economic mobility
At Generation, we define impact as advancing on three different dimensions simultaneously: breadth, depth, and durability. Durability refers to how well our program outcomes last over time. In other words, we want our graduates to find high-quality jobs after graduation and stay employed for years to come.
To assess whether the positive changes our graduates make in employment, financial health, and well-being last, we track their progress for up to five years after graduation. One of the main ways we do this is through our annual Global Alumni Survey.
This year, 4,691 alumni across 15 Generation countries participated in the survey. These alumni represent a diverse group of individuals around the world, who are often underrepresented in their chosen career fields: 52% are women, 46% are from lower-middle income countries, 64% have a high school diploma or lower, and 90% were unemployed before coming to Generation.
Survey findings are overwhelmingly positive: most Generation graduates experience lasting employment, financial health, and well-being after completing our programs. Below are some highlights, which you can explore in detail in the 2025 Global Alumni Survey report.
Generation alumni are employed in high-quality, life-changing careers
Today, 76% of Generation alumni that graduated between two and five years ago remain employed. Employment levels remain stable over time, demonstrating that graduates not only secure jobs after completing Generation programs but also maintain long-term employment. And they are largely working in high-quality jobs related to their training.

Alumni use their wages to create meaningful change in their lives and communities
With stable employment and incomes, alumni tell us that they have had a range of ways they can invest their earnings in themselves, their families, and their communities. Since finishing Generation alumni are doing the following:
Alumni are supporting their households in becoming more financially stable…
financially able to support their families
build savings
helped pay down family debts
…and advancing their living standards.
support education for children in their households
purchase essential assets such as better housing
support further education for themselves
Alumni report strong well-being and a desire to give back
Long-term career success is closely linked to graduates’ well-being. Alumni are overwhelmingly confident in their ability to achieve professional goals and want to give back to their Generation community.
