Job description
ABOUT GENERATION
At Generation, we believe in the power of employment to change lives. We are a global nonprofit organization that supports adults to achieve economic mobility through employment. Generation trains and places adult learners of all ages into careers that are otherwise inaccessible, working in partnership with governments, employers, and other system actors. We also conduct original research and share data insights on high priority global workforce transition topics to inform decision-making by workforce system stakeholders. Launched in 2015, Generation comprises a global hub (Generation You Employed, or GYE) and a network of in-country affiliates. To date, the network has 100,000+ graduates and 11,000+ employers across 46 professions and 17 countries.
When learners join Generation, 91% are unemployed, of which nearly half are long-term unemployed. Three months after completing our program, graduates have an 78% job placement rate, rising to 88% within six months. Of our employed graduates, 68% are hired by repeat employers who have previously hired Generation graduates, and 89% are in jobs directly related to the profession for which we have trained them. Employed graduates immediately earn an average of 3-4X their previous earnings. Two to five years after graduation, 77% of our alumni from upper-middle income countries continue to meet their daily financial needs and 63% can save for the future. To date, Generation’s global graduates have earned more than $1 billion in wages. Generation graduates typically have a secondary school background, 54% are female, 34% have dependents, and the majority identify with underrepresented communities in their country.
Duration/Work Hours & Availability:
This is a part-time role requiring approximately 20 hours per week, running through December, 2025 with the possibility of being extended. The Moderator must be available for synchronous online engagement 3 days per week between 8:00–11:00am Eastern Time / 12:00–3:00pm GMT, which aligns with working hours in Nairobi and Accra.

About the Role:
We’re seeking a thoughtful, organized, and people-centered Moderator to support the Durability Academy, a new initiative of the Durability Collective, a global community of funders, practitioners, and researchers committed to building our collective ability to measure social impact and create change that lasts.

Durability Academy is a multi-year, cohort-based learning program designed for nonprofits seeking to advance their data capabilities to measure long-term change and use it to improve their interventions. The Academy doesn’t just teach - it acts. With support from the Generation team and expert partners, participating nonprofits will build their ability to collect, analyze, and act on durability data. The inaugural cohort of 5–6 nonprofits will launch in June 2025.
As Moderator, you’ll play a key role in facilitating engagement, managing logistics, and supporting the overall learning journey of this first Academy cohort.
