Inspired by McKinsey’s research into the journey from education to employment, we founded Generation, an independent, nonprofit organization, in 2015.
Generation, which operates in 17+ countries around the globe, centers around the belief that everyone should have access to a good job and income that can help them and their families have a better life. They do this by training and placing adults into careers that would otherwise be inaccessible and advocating to improve the workforce system. Generation is recognized as a leader in workforce development, earning awards for that programs, which outperform peers in external third-party evaluations.
As of 2026, Generation has partnered with over 24,000 employers, government partners, and nonprofits to graduate more than 150,000 people who have earned more than $2.5 billion in wages across 58 professions.
