About Us

InvestIN Education is a dynamic, educational start-up that helps students aged 15-18 choose the right career and maximise their potential.

Since our foundation in 2012, we've provided over 60,000 students from 100+ countries with the 'ultimate work experience'. These immersive programmes are led by highly accomplished industry professionals and coach students through simulations, site visits, networking sessions and career coaching.
