| Introduction to Generation Generation is one of the world’s largest, fastest scaling global demand-driven youth employment programs, providing young adults with the opportunity to launch successful careers and change their life trajectories. We recruit, train and place diverse adults of all ages — whether unemployed or underemployed — into careers that would otherwise be beyond their reach. We started with a focus on youth, who are keen to launch their careers from non-traditional pathways (e.g. youth with no higher educational qualifications and require support to mitigate challenges due to socioeconomic backgrounds, individuals seeking to enter professions where their profile is traditionally underrepresented), and have now expanded to mid-career workers seeking jobs in demand (e.g. workers who have been displaced potentially due to automation or economic downturn, rejoining caretakers who have been out of the workforce for a significant amount of time). Our goal is to deliver for job seekers and employers simultaneously: supporting the individual’s personal and financial well-being, while helping businesses acquire entry-level hires who have higher productivity, are of higher quality, are retained longer, and are faster to promotion than peers. To date, Generation is active in seventeen countries: USA, Kenya, Brazil, Spain, Mexico, India, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, UK, France, Italy, Ireland, Thailand, Chile, Colombia, and Ghana, with plans of expanding to a few more countries. Since launching in May 2015, Generation Kenya has trained over 39,098 candidates across six different industries. 81% of whom have been placed in meaningful employment with our over 400 employer partners. We currently train for entry-level roles in five programs namely, Freelance Admin Support Work, Sewing Machine Operator, Distributed Sales, Retail and Restaurant and Digital Customer Service. |
Driven by our vision, “a meaningful career and sustained well-being for every person anywhere in the world,” and mission “we transform education to employment systems to prepare, place and support people into life-changing careers that would otherwise be inaccessible,” we aim to address the skills gap that hinders growth in the formal sector.
| Job Purpose To develop and manage a strong pipeline of B2B clients, secure new production contracts, and grow existing accounts to ensure optimal factory capacity utilization and revenue generation.
