Genesys Works Chicago

Genesys Works Chicago's mission is to provide pathways to career success for high school students in underserved communities through skills training, meaningful work experiences, and impactful relationships. We envision a future when all youth finish high school equipped and empowered with the knowledge and skills required to achieve career success and a lifetime of economic self-sufficiency. Students growing up in low-income environments often don’t know what career opportunities exist, nor do they realize that a professional career is attainable, putting them on a lifelong path of under-employment and unable to reach their true potential. Genesys works is dedicated to building bridges between economically-disadvantaged high school students, businesses seeking skilled talent, and a public education system struggling to produce market-ready graduates. Through comprehensive workplace training, meaningful internships, and supportive college and career coaching, Genesys Works not only helps students see that a professional career is within reach, we’re arming them with the skills and opportunities that will enable them to achieve their career goals.
