2024 Global Impact Report

We recently released our 2024 Global Impact Report. Generation’s Global CEO, Mona Mourshed, shared her reflections on our work in 2024 and the path ahead in an introductory letter, reprinted below.

As we mark our 10-year anniversary, we do so in a world navigating multiple trends – from geopolitical tensions and economic volatility to rapid labor market shifts brought forth by the latest advancements in AI and robotics. Throughout, we are reminded that what we are working towards is change that lasts.

Our Generation community continues to meet the moment. To date, more than 135,000 people have graduated from our employment programs, earning $1.8 billion in life-changing wages. Importantly, our programs have helped reverse pervasive unemployment – entering our programs 90% of learners are unemployed. Three to six months later, 83% are employed. And, two to five years after graduation, 76% of our alumni remain employed, with more than half earning above a living wage. We are committed to driving this sustained change across the education-to-employment landscape.

To that end, we are doubling down on both ensuring the durability of outcomes for our graduates and helping other social impact organizations do the same. We have just recently helped launch The Durability Collective, a new community of funders, practitioners, and researchers dedicated to building our collective capability to measure social impact and create change that lasts.

We have learned so much over the past ten years, and we are grateful to the entire global Generation community – alumni, colleagues, funders, employers, and the many other partners who have made this work possible by believing in the power of employment to change lives and to drive economic mobility. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished over the past decade, and we look forward to even more impact in the years ahead.
