Our Strategic Plan
We believe in the power of employment to change lives. We’re organizing our work from 2025-30 around three pillars — delivery excellence, advocacy, and growth — that will drive our mission forward.

Our goal is to bring the best of Generation every day in every cohort in every country. We will support implementation excellence across our global network for our Shared Delivery Platform – the curricula, tools, digital systems, data-tracking, and services that Generation’s global hub (GYE) provides to country affiliates. We will infuse our systems with AI-powered tools. And we will continue to capture and share innovations that emerge across our network so that all countries and learners can benefit. We will also engage and leverage the talents of our global alumni community.
Advocacy
Since our inception, we have prioritized employment and income outcomes measurement so that we can understand “does the change last?”. We will continue gathering this Durability data for our graduates and work to accelerate living wage attainment. We will support our countries to engage in third party impact assessments and counterfactual comparisons. We will engage in multi-year advocacy, training, and thought leadership to make Durability measurement mainstream rather than the current rarity that it is today. We will also continue to undertake original research and advocate for change – including addressing green jobs, gender issues, and ageism in employment.
Growth
Over the past two years, GYE has trialed a “Generation Direct” model for expansion to new geographies – we train people remotely and place them in either remote jobs or local jobs with multinational employers. We will expand our footprint through a regional approach: Colombia is the seed for Generation in Latin America, Ghana for Generation in West Africa, and West Virginia for an Appalachia-wide offering in the United States.
