People often
ask, “What is your biggest limitation to growth at Genesys Works?” The answer is easy. Jobs.
Without meaningful internships, Genesys Works doesn’t work. The hallways
of our urban high schools are filled with highly-motivated, capable students whose
lives could be forever changed if provided with one thing. Opportunity.
A chance to learn, grow, and thrive as a trained young professional working
in the corporate world.
So how can
you help? Easy. Help connect us with companies or
organizations that could benefit from the services that our trained students can
provide. And if you work for one of the 37
companies that are currently Genesys Works partners, we urge you to think
about new and creative ways that you may utilize the talents of our students to address your
business needs. While
the jobs that our young professionals perform have been primarily in the areas
of IT desktop support and help desk services, we have lots of students working
to support the needs of teams in the areas of project management,
business analysis, software testing and web site management. Wherever a company may have a need for part-time, cost-effective resources that can reliably perform a necessary function
or simply free up full-time staff for higher-value tasks, we have a solution. Genesys Works.
To learn
more about our award-winning youth development/workforce readiness program, we

site and begin exploring the many ways you might be able to help us reach
our goal of securing 160 professional internships by July 1st. Please contact Jeff Tollefson at jtollefson@genesysworks.org or

We thank you
in advance for your generous assistance as we work together to provide new
pathways to prosperity for our city’s youth.
