Our impact
We reverse pervasive unemployment for our graduates and help them achieve economic mobility for themselves and their families.
We define impact as advancing on three dimensions simultaneously
Breadth
Our annual and cumulative volume of graduates around the world.
graduates across 18 countries since launching in 2015
graduates expected in 2023 alone
Depth
Our employment and income outcomes within 3 and 6 months of program completion.
of graduates placed in jobs within three months of program completion (88% at six months)
in cumulative wages earned by graduates since 2015
Durability
Our sustained employment, income, and well-being outcomes for our graduates over time.
High income
Upper-Middle
Lower-Middle
Percentage of Alumni that can meet their daily financial needs 2-5 years after program completion according to World Bank country income grouping

Who We Serve
Female
with 1 or more dependents

were unemployed, with over half for 6+ months
We believe that great employees are identified through their skills, rather than their demographics
Our learners have a range of profiles by age, education, ethnicity, gender and income.
Generation reverses pervasive unemployment
72% of Alumni are in a role that is related to their Generation training, which positively impacts career growth and financial health.
Our graduates find employment quickly…
of our learners were employed pre-Generation
of our graduates are working within 3 months of graduation (88% at six months)
…and stay employed for years
Graduates make strong progress on their economic mobility journeys
We want to see our graduates in jobs that provide stable, living wage incomes, and we see strong progress from different starting points. Our network countries fall in three World Bank country income groupings: lower-middle income (India, Kenya, Pakistan, Ghana), upper-middle income (Brazil, Mexico), and high income (Australia, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Ireland, Singapore, Spain, the UK, the USA).
Our graduates are earning salaries they use to make ends meet and for education, housing, healthcare, and more
in wages earned by graduates since 2015
And this is expected to be $1 billion by early 2024. Of this, $260+ million in Brazil, India, Kenya, Mexico & Pakistan where living wage ranges between $2000–$4000 per year.
As we advance all of these dimensions, we can start to create systemic change
We seek to change the way employers hire, and we support them to hire from a nontraditional talent pipeline. We look at the percentage of entry-level positions filled by Generation graduates in a given city and profession to understand if we are changing the employment landscape. We call this “impact share”.

“Economic mobility is our impact goal. Reaching this goal means advancing outcomes related to breadth, depth, and durability of impact. Each of these pillars is equally important, and we work to move all three forward together.”
Independent Third Party Impact Assessments
As we grow, independent third party evaluations help assess our program impact for learners, graduates, and employers, so that we can continue to improve and expand our programs. We have begun conducting evaluations in several of our countries with the support of experienced research agencies and academics.
