[Alpharetta, Georgia] – GenSpark, a leading provider of technology talent and workforce transformation solutions, is proud to join Everest Group’s Commitment to Action. The mission is to uplift the plight of marginalized communities and groups by sourcing and providing jobs to workers who may otherwise not have these opportunities.

- Provides those candidates with job-specific training
- And deploys them to job opportunities, typically with Fortune 500 employers.

As an emerging leader in the workforce development sphere, GenSpark is eager to join the pledge to bring 500,000 jobs to the market in the next three years through our customized training programs that brings opportunities to minorities, women, and members of underrepresented communities.”
