OUR MISSION

Genesys Works provides pathways to career success for high school students in underserved communities through skills training, meaningful work experiences, and impactful relationships.

OUR VISION

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.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

2017 was another outstanding year of growth and impact for the Genesys Works program. Thanks to the generous support of our school, corporate, and philanthropic partners, we provided nearly 4,000 youth in underserved communities with professional employment opportunities and individual guidance in support of their postsecondary pursuits.

It also marked our 15th year of programming, a milestone recognized by celebrating the success of the thousands of students we’ve placed into life-changing work experiences over that time. In October, I had the privilege of spending a day with 15 of our program alums, one from each of our 15 years of existence. This talented group of individuals are highlighted on pages 10-11 and I urge you to learn more about their professional journeys at GenesysWorks.org/15for15. I am incredibly proud of all our young professionals and look forward to seeing them achieve even greater levels of success in the years to come.

While 2017 provided much to celebrate, it also presented its share of challenges. Hurricane Harvey created significant hardship for many of our students, staff, as well as many of our corporate, school, and community partners in the Houston area. But from adversity comes strength, and our city showed the same resilience and perseverance that our Genesys Works young professionals exhibit every day, reminding me of the goodness of our community and the work I feel privileged to do.

As we look to the future, our primary goals are simple – we want to serve more students, and we want to serve them better. This means continued growth in our five current sites as well as expansion into new cities across the country. It also means adopting new ways to guide and support students on their individual journeys toward the economic mainstream. To this end, we have launched an extensive strategic planning process intended to help us not only increase our value proposition to students and corporate partners, but also improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of our organization.

In closing, I want to express my sincere thanks to all those who make our program possible. Working together, we can empower tens of thousands more students to achieve career success while simultaneously creating the skilled workforce our nation needs for continued economic prosperity. We are proud to be your partners in this important work.

With gratitude,

CONNECTING MOTIVATION WITH OPPORTUNITYWHERE TOMORROW’S WORKFORCE BEGINS

At Genesys Works, 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.

But for students growing up in low-income environments, they often don’t know how to attain a professional career and have limited access to opportunities, putting them on a path towards under-employment and unable to reach their true potential.

Through a powerful combination of skills training, mentoring, and impactful work experiences, Genesys Works opens new pathways to career success for high-potential students in underserved communities who might otherwise be at risk of disconnecting from school or meaningful employment.

By connecting youth with the opportunity to succeed in a professional work environment while still in high school, students graduate with increased confidence, in-demand job skills, elevated career aspirations, and an actionable plan for postsecondary success.

Working together, we can provide more life-changing opportunities for talented young individuals like Yemema.

$10kAVERAGE STUDENT EARNINGS DURING SENIOR YEAR

Students begin the Genesys Works program with eight weeks of skills training during the summer before their senior year. Upon completing training, students are placed in a paid, year-long internship at a local corporation.

At his internship, Jimmy works with a team of professionals to meet the IT needs of the American Osteopathic Associa-tion (AOA). “I have to keep track of schedules and stay really organized,” says Jimmy of his internship. His work varies from setting-up laptops to supporting AOA conferences.

With the deep level of support provided by Genesys Works, students like Jimmy emerge from their internships with confidence and poise, ready to tackle real-world problems head on and empowered to re-envision their future. It is the first step in transforming today’s youth into tomorrow’s workforce.

“I’m grateful that I can work during my senior year of high school,” says Jimmy. “It teaches you a lot about the business world, and it’s actually life changing.”

“The interns bring value-added contributions to our ongoing growth strategy and in return the interns leave with the experience and confidence to make a difference in their communities.”EVAN KIRCHEN VP ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION, WILLIAMS

YOUNG PROFESSIONALS SHANTAYE JONES, ELSIK HIGH SCHOOL, AND ELVIS CASTILLO, ALIEF HASTINGS HIGH SCHOOL, HOUSTON

Williams has been a valued corporate partner since 2009, providing meaningful internships, charitable donations, and leadership participation on our Board of Directors.

Students at Williams work 1,000 hours and become important members of the team, taking on significant projects that positively impact the company. Richard De La Haya, an intern supervisor since 2013 says, “The program works. Students typically come to Williams shy and almost intimidated. When they leave the program, they are transformed, displaying great confidence and strategically planning for their future.”

Williams has provided life-changing work experiences to 55 interns and donated nearly $100,000 to our program to date. In addition, internal champions help spread the word of our program beyond the company. Williams exemplifies the ideal corporate partnership and continues to be a leader in the Genesys Works movement.

Since 2011, Dorene Brookins has been an integral school champion at Johnson Aerospace & Engineering High School in St. Paul, Minnesota. She considers the partnership a year-round endeavor, from recruiting students to engaging and retaining them once their internship is established. Dorene has not only made Genesys Works a priority but firmly believes in the capabilities of the students who enter the program.

One such student from the Class of 2018, Kia Lockhart (pictured on back cover), interns at Fairview Health Services while the rest of her day is spent in classes that are earning her both college and high school credits. She is future- focused and recognizes the long-term impact Genesys Works has on her future: “Having this internship on my resume goes a long way and opens up doors and opportunities.”

Kia’s journey echoes the belief Dorene has of the program: when you invest in a program like Genesys Works, it pays dividends – for students, schools, and communities.

Once students graduate from high school, our Alumni Program provides ongoing support to help students achieve college and career success. Many of our students will become the first in their families to attend college, making our services even more essential. “No one had a background in a college education or an office position,” says Manuel Robles, who completed internships at CPS and AT&T. “So all of this was totally new for our family.”

Manuel’s two younger brothers followed his lead, from joining Genesys Works to attending college. Ricardo completed his year-long internship at CSC and Ruben at WEC Energy Group. Today, the Robles family counts two college graduates with youngest brother Ruben still in college. “For me, Genesys Works has been really important to our family,” says Matilde Robles, mother to Manuel, Ricardo and Ruben. “It has been a big impact for us, seeing our sons starting a new path toward a life that we didn’t have.”

HURRICANE HARVEY STUDENT RELIEF FUNDHurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas on August 25, 2017, causing unprecedented flooding in Houston and surrounding areas. Many Houstonians are still dealing with the aftermath, including Genesys Works students like Kendric.

Kendric remains displaced from his home and must commute over an hour each way to school and his internship. Even so, his determination to succeed has not wavered.

We thank the 226 generous supporters who donated $328,000 to help the Genesys Works students and staff who were affected by the storm. Because of your support, students like Kendric are able to continue on the path to college and career success.

GENESYS WORKS THEORY OF CHANGE

PROBLEM VISION ENTREPRENEURIAL INSIGHT

MODEL INTENDED IMPACT

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 underemployment and unable to reach their true potential. In addition, the disparity between what students are taught in the classroom and what’s needed for success in the workplace continues to widen, leaving many jobs unfilled because young adults lack the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to succeed in these roles.

One day, all students, regardless of their socio- economic background, will have the mindset, behavior, skills, and opportunity to embark and succeed on a path towards professional and life success.

By enabling students in underserved communities to succeed in a professional work environment while still in high school, they develop a greater sense of self-efficacy, recognize that a new economic reality is possible, and gain the behavioral and technical knowledge/skills that will set them on a path toward employment success and economic self-sufficiency.

Relationships gained in the course of meaningful intern-ships, both from adults and from fellow peers, have the unique ability to provide individualized influence, guidance and instruction that make a new vision a reality.

Students succeeding in a professional environment have a unique influence on other students around them, in their schools and communities.

Provide motivated students from underserved communities with 8-weeks of professional behavior and technical skills training to prepare them for a year-long corporate internship.

Place students in paid, year-long meaningful work experience, during their senior year of high school.

Engage every 20 students with a Genesys Works staff member to serve as a job coach, mentor and college/career counselor throughout the 14-month intervention.

Pair students with corporate partner supervisors to serve as business/career mentors.

Enable a positive, supportive peer environment to ensure student success.

Students in underserved communities graduate from high school with raised career aspirations, pursue postsecondary education, develop resiliency which positively contributes to college persistence, and enter the workforce with the self-efficacy and professional behavior skills to succeed in a corporate environment.

Schools serving low-income areas recognize the value of the meaningful internship as a unique tool for increased relevance and relationships, and incorporate work-based learning opportunities into all secondary schools.

Corporate employers recognize the importance of providing real-world educational opportunities for youth in order to develop our future workforce.

Students grow up in communities where the pursuit of a college degree and professional career is the given, not the exception.
