Our impact
We reverse pervasive unemployment for our graduates and help them achieve economic mobility for themselves and their families.
We define impact as as advancing on three dimensions simultaneously

Depth
Our employment and income outcomes within 3 and 6 months of programme completion
of graduates placed in jobs within three months of programme completion (90% at six months)
Durability
Sustained employment, income, and well-being outcomes over time
of Alumni can meet their daily financial needs 2-5 years after programme completion

“At Generation, we are committed to empowering individuals through our unique short-term training model complemented by extensive support. Our goal is not just to impart skills but to create pathways to life-changing opportunities that might otherwise remain out of reach.”
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 programmes. We have begun conducting evaluations in several of our countries with the support of experienced research agencies and academics.
