Grants Management Associate Consultant - GROW program Ghana (Remote, Contractor)
 
\n\n
\nABOUT GENERATION:
Generation is a global nonprofit organization that supports adults to achieve economic mobility through employment.  Generation trains and places adult learners of all ages into careers that are otherwise inaccessible, working in partnership with governments, employers, and other system actors.  Launched in 2015, Generation comprises a global hub (Generation You Employed, or GYE) and a network of in-country affiliates.  To date, the network has 72,000+ graduates and 11,000+ employers across 35 professions and 17 countries.  When learners join Generation, 90% are unemployed, of which nearly half are long-term unemployed.  Three months after completing our program, graduates have an 81% job placement rate, rising to 90% within six months.

Of our employed graduates, 67% are hired by our repeat employer partners, and 88% are in jobs directly related to the profession for which we have trained them. Employed graduates immediately earn an average of 3-4X their previous earnings.  Two to six years after graduation, 70% of alumni continue to meet their daily financial needs and 40% save for the future. To date, Generation’s global graduates have earned $630 million in wages, which will rise to $1 billion by 2023. Generation graduates typically have a secondary school background, 54% are female, 40% have dependents, and the majority identify with underrepresented communities in their country. GYE also conducts original research and shares data insights on high priority global workforce transition topics to inform decision-making by workforce system stakeholders.
