Generation celebrates over 10,000 graduates in Latin America<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, we reached the remarkable milestone of 10,000 graduates from Generation\u2019s programs in Latin America across four countries: Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Chile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three months after completing the program, graduates achieve a 67% employment rate, which increases to 85% within six months. These outcomes remain strong over time: 85% of Generation LatAm graduates are employed 2-5 years after finishing the programs and 92% of those who are employed earn above the living wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing able to give back to this community is really fulfilling. There\u2019s a sense of camaraderie and curiosity within Generation that is unique. It truly feels like a community, which is hard to find elsewhere!\u201d<\/p><\/div>

\u201cThe Council has been a great opportunity to connect with likeminded people all around the world, and enhance my public speaking and leadership skills in a positive environment. As a global ambassador I have been able to share my experiences to improve future Generation programs.\r\nBeing part of a community of like-minded people who\u2019ve been through a similar journey is priceless because there\u2019s a sense of understanding. There\u2019s also a bit of fun and laughter\u2026 but it\u2019s also surprising and exciting to see these amazing people on the other side of the world doing such great things. Seeing the impact firsthand is really motivating. I think that\u2019s been the coolest part of being part of the Council.\u201d<\/p><\/div>

\u201cThe most rewarding part of being a global ambassador is being able to give back to Generation because they\u2019ve given so much to me. I also love connecting with amazing people from across the globe, getting to know their stories, and to realize that we\u2019ve all had similar paths. We all share stories of overcoming fears and insecurities to become who we are today.\u201d<\/p><\/div>
