Our strategic priorities
We believe in the power of employment to change lives. Our 2023-2025 strategy is built around three priorities: Strengthen Employment Outcomes, Shift Hiring Practices and Boost Financial Sustainability.
Strengthen Employment Outcomes
The Generation methodology is designed to serve those who have faced the highest barriers to employment. Our goal is to strengthen employment outcomes for people from intersectional and vulnerable backgrounds across Australia; including youth, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, unemployed parents and First Nations People. We are committed to serving those individuals and communities where we can have a truly life-changing impact.
Shift Hiring Practices
A significant part of Generation’s mission is to leverage our learnings to help transform the overall education-to-employment system. We believe we can have the greatest impact by collaborating directly with Australian employers to drive shifts in hiring practices, which in turn, can solve employer talent shortages while creating new opportunities for diverse talent who may otherwise have been overlooked.
Boost Financial Sustainability
Achieving financial sustainability is key to us delivering on our organisational mission. We are grateful for the support from our current government, philanthropic and corporate funders; and are actively seeking new funders to help scale our impact across Australia.
Our people
A talented, dedicated group of individuals around the world drive our work.
