Genesys Works Announces New CEO
David Williams
Former Make-A-Wish America executive will begin post as new Genesys Works CEO effective January 1, 2019.
""I’ve chosen to join Genesys Works because the program is doing more than simply putting a band-aid on a problem – it’s addressing some of the root causes of economic inequality by helping our education and business communities work together to provide impactful work-based learning opportunities for our country’s youth.
-David Williams
David WilliamsNew Genesys Works CEO
Across America, millions of young people are shut out of today’s workforce due to lack of relevant skills and work experience. At the same time, millions of entry-level jobs go unfilled because companies struggle to find qualified candidates.
What if we could bridge that gap? What if we could connect motivated youth with real opportunity?
We can. And we do. We’re Genesys Works.
