Transforming Potential into Possibility
Every young person deserves the opportunity to build a bright future. Yet for many students from underserved communities, access to professional experience, career networks, and pathways to high-demand careers remains out of reach.
At Genesys Works Twin Cities, we are changing that.

From Internship to Career: Meet Abubakar
When Abubakar Jeylani joined Genesys Works Twin Cities as a high school student, he was looking for an opportunity to gain experience and explore his future career path.
Through Genesys Works, he earned a Software Asset Management Analyst Internship with Ecolab, gaining valuable technical and professional skills while working alongside industry professionals.
Following his internship, Abubakar continued growing with Ecolab as a Genesys Works alumnus. Today, he has come full circle, recently accepting a full-time position as an Associate Security Engineer at Ecolab.
His journey reflects the power of early access to professional opportunities and the lasting impact a single internship can have on a young person’s future.
