Our impact in action

As we advance all of these dimensions, we can start to create systemic change

We seek to change the way employers hire, and we support them to hire from a nontraditional talent pipeline. We look at the percentage of entry-level positions filled by Generation graduates in a given city and profession to understand if we are changing the employment landscape. We call this “impact share”.
