Genesys Works is dedicated to empowering youth through professional development and work experience. Our mission is to provide young professionals with the skills and opportunities they need to succeed in the workforce.
“Some businesses find it difficult to consider working with high school interns. At Texas Children’s, we’ve committed to the youth participating in the Genesys Works program and we’ve seen the benefits.”
Students start their journey by completing eight weeks of rigorous business techonology training, gaining essential skills in the areas of information technology, business operations and professional development.
Once students successfully complete their skills training course, they are matched to a paid, year-long internship at a partner company site.
While students are working at their internship, they are also receiving more than sixty hours of guidance, counseling, and planning relative to their future career path.
After you graduate from high school and finish your internship, Genesys Works continues to support you through our Alumni Program. Our team helps you navigate post-secondary education and any challenges, ensuring you succeed in your education and career.
Our mission is to provide pathways to career success for high school students in underserved communities through skills training, meaningful work experiences, and impactful relationships.
We provide college and career support to ensure that young professionals have the resources and guidance they need to achieve their goals.
“I learned something new every single day from my supervisor and team. I went in thinking I wanted to pursue engineering. I left knowing that I wanted to pursue a career in IT.”
