Three different types of country economies

Graduates make strong progress on their economic mobility journeys

We want to see our graduates in jobs that provide stable, living wage incomes, and we see strong progress from different starting points. Here is the global accumulated data for lower-middle income countries.

Financial Impact

Our graduates are earning salaries they use to make ends meet and for education, housing, healthcare, and more

Empowering individuals with the skills they need to succeed not only transforms lives but also strengthens communities and drives economic growth. At Generation Ghana, we believe in the power of training and jobs to create lasting impact, improving the breadth, depth, and durability of opportunities for all. Together, we can build a future where everyone has the chance to thrive.”
