Gen Y Hub Offers Millennial Members Free Career Building Tools

Online, June 5, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Gen Y Hub , a trifecta of online destinations, offers many integrated features to help Millennials build a professional presence. Members receive personal profile pages with urls, a blog editor, video and photo uploading capabilities, one-click social media sharing tools and numerous ways to contribute their knowledge, skills, talents and opinions to a diverse group of international peers. In addition to professional tools, the site sports curated and original editorial content, and seven original web series under the Gen Y TV umbrella.

Gen Y Hub co-founder and CEO, Britt Hysen, dedicated the website to the promotion and advancement of her fellow Millennials. "The primary function at Gen Y Hub is to promote Millennial talents, skills and businesses," Hysen said about the site. "That's where we can help. For instance, when a member writes a blog, it is promoted through our blog RSS feed, Twitter, and Facebook pages, as well as, posted on our front page. And if a blogger is using WordPress, they can iframe their past blogs into their Gen Y Hub profile page to increase readership."

Hysen came up with the idea for the site when she noticed the need for a supportive community that embraced what Gen Y had to offer. "I wanted to create a place that housed all of this information. A one-stop shop to learn about what matters most to us as a generation."

Gen Y Hub has also made waves internationally with 35% of its users living outside of the United States. Hysen's goal for the site is to connect Millennials with each other while partnering with brands and publishers to offer deals, education, and employment opportunities to Gen Y Hub members.

A recent study by Millennial Branding found that many young adults think of themselves as entrepreneurs or business owners, making this an entrepreneurial generation. Gen Y Hub empowers and encourages Millennials to become the entrepreneurs and leaders of today and tomorrow.

"I want to engage the hearts and minds of this generation and empower them to live to their fullest potential," Hysen stated. "We are an amazing group of individuals burdened by a failing economy and exorbitant student debt, but with the right tools and information, we have the power to unite as an enterprising community.
