About Generation
Generation is a global independent non-profit, founded in 2015 by McKinsey & Company with a mission to transform education to employment systems to prepare, place and support individuals in life-changing careers that would otherwise be inaccessible.
The global pandemic has led to an unprecedented surge in unemployment. Even before the pandemic, more than 75 million young adults were out of work globally, three times as many were underemployed, and 375 million workers of all ages needed to learn new skills by 2030. At the same time, certain jobs remain in high demand, and 40% of employers say a skills shortage leaves them with entry-level vacancies. To date, more than 50,000 people have graduated from Generation programs globally, which prepare them for meaningful careers in 16 countries. Generation works with more than 3,900 employer partners and many implementation partners and funders.
