Generation for governments

We partner with governments to accelerate employment and economic mobility.

How we work

How does Generation work with government partners?

We help people get new skills and jobs by deploying public funding to deliver our programs, typically through public institutions (technical and vocational programs).

We also work with governments to build the capacity of public skilling systems. We train their staff to use our methodology, generating a better return on public investment.

We train and place learners in sectors with high employment potential, focusing on the skills and qualities employers require.

Partnering with Governments to provide pathways to employment

Project AMBER in India

Project AMBER is a joint initiative between National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), and Generation India with an outcome-based approach rooted in Generation’s methodology that will train 30,000 learners in COVID-resilient job roles.

Project AMBER (Accelerated Mission for Better Employment and Retention) is a joint initiative of Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and Generation India Foundation (GIF) under Skill Acquisition and Knowledge Awareness for Livelihood Promotion (SANKALP) – a World Bank funded MSDE programme. The project aimed to demonstrate improved employment and retention outcomes for 30,000 trainees using Generation’s 7-step methodology, targeting 50% women participation. The project follows a blended financing model, combining funding from the government and the private/philanthropic sector, establishing a unique public-private partnership.

The project is designed to drive systematic impact, by focusing on sustained employment through retention. The project has been operational since 2021, demonstrating positive outcomes with a high placement and retention rate, as evidenced by an external evaluation

We are seeing a rapid change in job responsibilities fueled by tech-enabled solutions and the desire of enterprises to stay competitive. This trend will continue to create skills gaps across the economy. Hence, there is an urgent need to close this gap and help people re-skill themselves for in-demand jobs. Generation’s integrated methodology is a promising model because it identifies critical skills to be job-ready while aligning training to business outcomes.”
