External Evaluation<\/h1>\n \n

As we grow, independent third party evaluations help assess our program impact for learners, graduates, and employers, so that we can continue to improve and expand our programs.<\/p> \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

How does Generation validate impact?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have begun conducting evaluations in several of our countries with the support of experienced research agencies and academics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Generation India, Kenya and France, the evaluations focused on assessing the impact of our program on our learners\u2019 employment trajectory and our employers\u2019 hiring & retention processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically in India, the evaluation also compares outcomes for our learners with other skill training programs. In all cases, we have seen strong employment outcomes with a faster time to placement and higher earnings. We have also received great feedback from our employer partners on the ease & quality of hiring from Generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evaluations have also provided great insight into where we can continue to strengthen our programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An evaluation of longer term outcomes is currently ongoing in India & Kenya. As we continue to scale up in each of our countries, we are seeking to conduct more independent evaluations that can help to demonstrate our program impact across various programs and geographies.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mathematica Impact Assessment of Generation Programs in India and Kenya<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With support from IKEA Foundation, Mathematica conducted a multi-year impact evaluation of Generation programs in India and Kenya in 2022 and 2023. This evaluation assessed short-term outcomes (3-6 months post-graduation) in Phase 1 and longer-term outcomes (12-18 months post-graduation) in Phase 2 using qualitative and quantitative methods. The study assessed Generation\u2019s impact outcomes for graduates, employers, and delivery partners using a quasi-experimental design in India by comparing outcomes for Generation graduates to those in public training programs for the same or similar professions. In Kenya, Mathematica used a non-experimental design, comparing Generation graduate outcomes to those of applicants of similar profiles who were not selected for our programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \t
