In February 2023, the Generation: You Employed (GYE) Board decided to terminate the affiliation agreement between GYE and Generation USA because the GYE Board sought a different approach for Generation’s impact in the US moving forward.

However, the success of our 2023 learners is a top priority for both organizations given the shared mission. For the rest of 2023, we will continue to deliver programs “Powered by Generation,” whereby GYE provides us access to Generation systems and curriculum used by our current learners.

We are a separate legal entity affiliated with GYE. In the process of disaffiliation, we are required to establish a new name and brand that will be independent of the Generation and Generation USA brands.

On April 28, 2023, we will continue to operate internally with a temporary name, Skill Growth, and will be Powered by Generation. Our staff and administration emails will reflect the skillgrowth.org domain address.

On June 14, 2023, we will officially launch a new brand with updated public-facing digital platforms. We will continue to be Powered by Generation.
