Local economies thrive when employers can connect with a skilled, future-ready workforce. As 1 in 10 working-age adults in the U.S. have emerging English skills, state and local government leaders are discovering that English upskilling with EnGen is a high-impact solution that boosts workforce participation, supports employers, and drives economic growth.
EnGen delivers an average 6x return on investment, boosting wages, fueling job creation, and strengthening local economies.
Built for Scale
English upskilling isn’t traditional language learning — it’s a workforce development solution. Enabled by the ubiquity of smartphones and powered by AI, EnGen delivers targeted, career-aligned English instruction anytime, anywhere.
States and local governments invest in licenses at scale and deploy them through local employers, community colleges, adult education providers, apprenticeship programs, and workforce partners to meet regional talent needs.
Future-Ready Workforces. Proven ROI.
EnGen enables states to align English instruction with hard-to-fill roles in priority sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, skilled trades, and hospitality.
The result: adult learners build both language and job-specific skills — and communities see measurable returns. For every $1 invested, English upskilling delivers $6 in economic impact through higher wages, increased local spending, job creation, and tax revenue.
