At Genesys Works, we are actively expanding career pathways and opportunities for youth from underserved communities while filling critical talent gaps by providing training, support, and internships to trailblazing young people who have big career aspirations, but little to no access to the networks needed to help them achieve their dreams.
Partnerships with leading companies are vital to the fulfillment of our mission to provide pathways to career success for young adults. By providing equitable access to meaningful work opportunities, leading companies are instrumental in breaking down the barriers to economic opportunity for our students.
Over 300 students have completed their internship at Target, earning collectively in excess of $3M in wages. Now, that shows you how important we at Target believe Genesys Works is.
As high schoolers, Genesys Works students are offered business technology skills training, meaningful paid internships, college and career counseling, and alumni support. In short, we exist to fuel their ambition so that their dreams become lifelong realities.
Investing in Genesys Works is investing in a network that leads to a more promising economic future for our country: a future that is more equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The impact of our work not only affects students, but also has a profound impact on their families, communities, workplaces, and society at large.
Columbia University Economist Dr. Clive R. Belfield commissioned a study of Genesys Works’ model, showing that every $1 invested in Genesys Works leads to a $13.46 economic return.
Join us in the movement to create a future where all young people, regardless of race, ethnicity, or socio-economic status, have an equal chance to reach their full potential.
