In 2025, we reached the remarkable milestone of 10,000 graduates from Generation’s programs in Latin America across four countries: Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Chile.
Three months after completing the program, graduates achieve a 67% employment rate, which increases to 85% within six months. These outcomes remain strong over time: 85% of Generation LatAm graduates are employed 2-5 years after finishing the programs and 92% of those who are employed earn above the living wage.
“Generation has provided me with the skill and opportunity I never would have had otherwise. Now I’m on a new career path and my future is bright.”

“The Council has been a great opportunity to connect with likeminded people all around the world, and enhance my public speaking and leadership skills in a positive environment. As a global ambassador I have been able to share my experiences to improve future Generation programs. Being part of a community of like-minded people who’ve been through a similar journey is priceless because there’s a sense of understanding. There’s also a bit of fun and laughter… but it’s also surprising and exciting to see these amazing people on the other side of the world doing such great things. Seeing the impact firsthand is really motivating. I think that’s been the coolest part of being part of the Council.”
