About partnering with Generation
We aim to work with partners across different sectors to create a more supportive and inclusive environment for people of all ages to access employment opportunities and succeed in their careers.
We work with different types of partners: employers, corporations, and philanthropy.
And our collaboration depends on the partners’ needs and objectives and can include funding, in-kind support, and ecosystem engagement.
Why partner with us?
At Generation, we believe in the power of employment to transform lives, and we know that you do too. Millions of people around the world struggle to make ends meet, much less to save money that can transform their lives and those of their families. And too often, good-paying jobs – the foundation for income stability and long-term well-being – lie out of reach for people who face one or more systemic barriers due to their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, education, and income.
With your partnership, together, we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to build a better future.
Your support will accelerate our progress. We’ll work with you to develop a support model that fits your needs
Funding
Funding to support our global hub team to develop programs, tools and services that enable us to scale to more learners, produce thought leadership, and explore new ways to grow our impact.
Funding to support our in-country affiliates in running profession-specific employment programs that are aligned by sector, geography, and/or talent pool with your strategic priorities.
Get in touchIn-Kind Support
In-kind support in any form, including but not limited to access to learning assets such as content, tools, and certifications; subject matter expertise to identify high-demand job roles or create role-specific curricula; pro bono teams or volunteers to support us with strategic projects and activities.

Corporations
Generation typically partners with corporations that are looking to address skills gaps within their industry or region. We achieve that by designing and implementing programs that equip individuals with the skills they need to succeed in the workforce.
Corporations provide funding, expertise, and access to their networks to support the development and delivery of workforce development programs. Some may provide financial support to help fund the development and delivery of the programs, while others may provide expertise in specific areas such as curriculum development or job placement. They may also provide job opportunities for individuals who have completed our programs.
The partnership between corporations and Generation aims to create opportunities for individuals to develop the skills they need to succeed in the workforce, while also helping corporations address skills gaps and talent shortages within their industry.
