Pathways to Progress

Pathways to Progress is a job skills-building initiative that addresses the persistent, global issue of youth unemployment.

Through a combination of Citi Foundation philanthropic investments, Citi employee volunteers, career development opportunities at Citi, and research, Pathways to Progress aims to address the skills mismatch and equip young people, particularly those from underserved communities, with the skills and networks needed to succeed in today’s rapidly changing economy. Since launching Pathways to Progress in 2014, the Citi Foundation has invested more than $300 million globally in workforce preparation.
