InStudents
A global social enterprise that empowers students to lead local projects, dismantling educational barriers to ensure equitable access to opportunities for all.
-
Lack of Access: Students in rural and underserved regions lack quality career guidance and opportunities equivalent to their privileged peers.
-
Employability Gap: Students from less prestigious universities often struggle to gain the real-world work experience and confidence needed for employment.
