Tackling the need for skilling and reskilling: Non-profit Generation's plan to be present in Romania

Global non-profit network Generation, which trains, places, and supports people into jobs that would otherwise be inaccessible, is looking to roll out a pilot project in Romania next year. The independent non-profit, founded in 2014 by McKinsey, serves learners of all ages, offering programs to prepare and place people into close to 40 professions across five different sectors.

While most of them are tech ones, the non-profit also trains people for healthcare, customer service & sales, and skilled trades jobs. Another category in their job portfolio program is the green economy, with candidates trained to install PV panels or repair bikes. Since it launched, over 70,000 people graduated from its programs. It had more than 25,000 graduates since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020.
