Who are Generation UK & Ireland?
Generation is a global social enterprise that trains, supports and places people into life changing roles (that are otherwise inaccessible to them) while providing employers with the highly skilled and motivated talent they need. We are growing at scale and have so far helped 50,000 people into work. Generation UK was set up as a UK Charity in 2019 and launched in Yorkshire (Leeds) last year.
Generation delivers programmes which:
a)Provide organisations with a passionate, highly motivated, and most importantly, trained talent pipeline of diverse people
b)Provide people with life changing career opportunities in their chosen sector. These people are unemployed and have faced barriers to desirable employment, yet have the motivation and intrinsics to succeed (recent cohorts have been 100% unemployed, >50% women, >80% ethnic minority, >40% previously FSM eligible).
The training is completely free, with guaranteed interviews with employers for successful learners on completion of the programme. We can support learners with access to IT equipment (such as laptops and Wi-Fi dongles) and a workspace, and all learners are paired with a mentor to support them throughout the training.
We provide a range of high quality 3–12-week programmes that teach the key skills required to succeed in that industry, but also the behaviours and mindsets needed to be successful for roles such as Cloud Support Practitioners, Customer and IT Support Technicians, Data Engineers, Data Analysts and Software Developers etc. Generation in Yorkshire are also running Health and Care programmes and Green programmes focussed on sustainability roles. We have a national ‘Career Support’ programme specifically tailored to support jobseekers with sessions to develop their employability skills (like CV writing and job applications) and a high job placement rate at 85%/retention rate of >90% within 6 months.
