The Ultimate Work Experience
We offer teenagers the opportunity to gain hands-on, practical industry experience alongside leading professionals, so that they can choose the right career for them and maximise their potential.
Who we are
Since 2012, InvestIN has equipped over 70,000 students from across the UK and 100+ countries with an immersive experience of their dream career.
Co-Founders Hitesh Chowdhry and Shameer Thobhani are former professionals in corporate law and investment banking respectively. They were inspired by the opportunity to provide students with a realistic insight into their own fields, by equipping young people with the insider knowledge they both wished they’d had when they were at school. Today, InvestIN delivers immersive work experience programmes across 15+ different industries, including medicine, engineering, architecture, entrepreneurship and much more.
Our Mission
Life beyond education can feel daunting, as students are expected to make big decisions at a young age that will inevitably shape their career trajectories. By coming on an InvestIN programme, we aim to empower students to:
Make the right career decisions
By experiencing an industry first-hand and gaining exposure to real professionals, students can better determine whether an industry aligns with their goals and skills.
Increase their chances of breaking into a competitive field
By developing key employability skills, as well as gaining a certificate and industry reference letter, students can boost their university applications and CVs.
