Generation USA, a nonprofit organization that transforms education to employment, is excited to be named an endorsed talent developer for OneTen, a coalition of leading executives who have committed to upskill, hire, and advance one million Black individuals in America over the next 10 years into family-sustaining jobs with opportunities for advancement.
OneTen has set out to change the way companies provide more equitable environments to drive better business outcomes and benefit all employees. The network of OneTen talent developers represents leading local, regional, and national education and skill-building organizations that support diverse talent without four-year degrees to identify, develop, and build high-value skills.
Working with OneTen, Generation will create more equitable access to opportunity and advancement as it serves its students. By removing structural barriers that have disproportionately hindered Black talent from joining the middle class, Generation will also help lift all talent and drive better business outcomes that benefit all employees.
“At Generation, our focus is creating pathways for career success,” says Sean Segal Generation USA CEO. “Together with OneTen, we’ll cultivate more equitable access to opportunity for our students while creating more flexible talent pipelines and practices that will allow both employees and employers to thrive.”
