From an apple orchard to a Certified Public Benefit company.
Dr. Katie Brown’s mission began in an apple orchard, where she was an undergraduate student volunteer teaching English to migrant farmworkers.
That experience revealed a stark reality: Traditional language instruction wasn't built for working adults—and today’s workforce system still serves less than 5% of those who need support.
Katie knew there had to be a better way. Drawing on decades of research and teaching experience, a Ph.D. in second language acquisition, and multiple technology patents, she launched EnGen in 2020.
Acquiring Cell-Ed in 2025 expanded EnGen into a complete solution covering basic literacy, life, digital skills, and career-aligned English.
Today, as a Certified B Corporation and public benefit company, EnGen partners with Fortune 500 companies, regional employers, higher education institutions, and government agencies to connect working adults with high-demand credentials and economic mobility.
“Multilingualism is a superpower. By pairing English instruction directly with workforce readiness skills, we give working adults and employers the exact tools they both need to succeed."
