Alumni Spotlight:

Being raised on the west side of Chicago was not easy. I endured homelessness at a very young age and ridicule from my peers for taking my academics so seriously. However, my determination never wavered. For my internship, I was placed at Polsinelli, an AmLaw 100 firm with more than 800 attorneys in 20 offices.
""Results from the survey provide evidence that the Genesys Works program is accomplishing its mission of equipping and empowering youth with the knowledge and skills required to achieve career success and economic self-sufficiency.

Across America, millions of young people are shut out of today’s workforce due to lack of relevant skills and work experience. At the same time, millions of entry-level jobs go unfilled because companies struggle to find qualified candidates.
What if we could bridge that gap? What if we could connect motivated youth with real opportunity?
We can. And we do. We’re Genesys Works.
Watch our short video to see how Genesys “Works.”
