Inspired by the excitement of a professional sports draft, our Young Professionals took the stage last month at Bay Area’s Draft Day to discover the companies that had “drafted” them into year-long, paid internships.
We were honored to welcome Festus Ezeli, NBA Champion and Golden State Warriors Legend, as our keynote speaker. Festus shared his own journey and reminded our Young Professionals that their background does not define their future.
This special day was made possible by the incredible companies, supervisors, volunteers, families, supporters, and community partners who continue to invest in the next generation of Bay Area talent. We are so proud of the Class of 2027 and excited to watch them grow, learn, and make their mark throughout the year!
The excitement surrounding Draft Day reached the Bay Area community! We were thrilled to be featured by both KTVU and Univision, shining a spotlight on our Young Professionals, corporate partners, and the incredible community behind the Genesys Works Bay Area mission.
Take a look here at the news coverage from KTVU and Univision.
