About us

We launch and grow businesses with partners in key industries and government, ensuring demand and reducing market risk. Youth enter our enterprises as employees, learning on the job (as opposed to in a classroom), receiving ongoing training, earning income, assuming greater responsibility, and ultimately taking ownership of the entity. Youth buy-out GEN at a preset level, allowing us to be more financially sustainable while providing them true ownership via a co-op structure. Our on-the-job training is more effective and affordable than vocational programs by enabling both educated and unskilled (BoP) labor to build skills and ownership.

What we have done

Since 2011, we have worked in Nigeria and India, partnered with the World Bank and local governments, trained over 300 youth and incubated 25+ businesses that have created 50+ jobs, resulting in average income increases of 13x. We believe that youth can be agents of change and economic development in their communities. Our vision is a global network of sustainable, profitable youth-run businesses, creating skills, livelihoods, and community wealth.
