Our mission is to deliver professional experiences to young people that they would otherwise consider a far-flung fantasy. This 'experiential learning' appeals to all the senses and requires live in-person interaction; providing a welcome counterpoint to the restrictive and atomised environment of cyberspace. Empowerment and Ownership: We treat all of our students as young professionals, not simply older schoolchildren. InvestIN empowers students by thrusting them into a whirlwind of professional-life simulation, and asking them to stand up and be counted. Along with that empowerment comes the valuable lessons of responsibility. Students are expected to take ownership of their careers immediately, as we give them detailed advice about how to plant the seeds for a successful future; starting now. Action and Urgency: InvestIN believes that success requires both action and urgency. We have been able to grow at an exponential rate because we move ideas quickly into tangible steps forward and we execute them. InvestIN's students refuse to be left behind and want to be able to cut through abstract procrastination; becoming empowered to act with decisiveness and urgency. Ambition: InvestIN is a fervent supporter of determined ambition. We believe that young people - and whole organisations - must continue to 'think big' in order to achieve their potential. We therefore coach our students to believe that there are no limits to their career ambitions, and give them the tools they need to thrive. Imagination: InvestIN is not an ordinary organisation. We create interactive simulations of professional life, which requires a commitment to using our imagination to deliver extraordinary experiences for our students. At the same time, we encourage our students to imagine themselves as young professionals now , not at some distant point in the future. We have discovered that tomorrow's achievements are born from today's visualisation. Integrity: At InvestIN, we understand the gre
