Voice of our Community
“To be able to connect industry leaders and professionals with students not only creates a powerful impact on young people in shaping their aspirations and goals for the future but, also eases the strain on our schools and education system who are faced with difficulties in resources and facilities. Through the power of collective action and collaboration, schools who have opened their doors to IBY have seen the effectiveness of empowering students and young people who are disadvantaged to embrace their true potential. Together, we have been able to create an ecosystem of support, where students feel seen, heard, and encouraged to dream big.”
“Working with like-minded volunteers, it has been a very inspiring and rewarding journey. Being a mentor with IBY, it has empowered us to challenge and support young people to explore new opportunities and ideas for their future.”
“IBY provided the expertise and excellent support needed for our students to gain first-hand knowledge of the job interview experience.Their invaluable guidance and personalised touch was refined to meet our Westall curriculum and students’ needs. The result was an outstanding success and student feedback even more so. Thank you so much IBY!”
“Such a great initiative to really open up a world of possibility to everyone who wants it.”
“Manvinder and her team from IBY provided our school with support to act as Interviewers, providing valuable and meaningful feedback to our students and an experience for which they were extremely grateful. The invaluable support that IBY gave our students left them feeling confident to tackle the next steps in the learning journey and ready for life beyond school and into the world of work.”
