We are an affiliate of Generation:You Employed, a global network of non-profit organisations working on a mission to bridge the gap between education and employment systems to prepare, place and support people into meaningful jobs that are otherwise inaccessible. Generation was created in 2014 to help bridge this gap—at speed and scale. To date, Generation has supported more than 60,000 people of all ages across 17 countries to get into career-launching jobs.
