The British EdTech firm offering immersive work experience to UAE schoolchildren – The National

For many schoolchildren, work experience often means spending a week with a friend of your parents making the coffee and doing the photo-copying.

British start-up InvestIn, however, is offering children aged between 12 and 18 a different take on the concept with an immersive experience of their dream career, working with real doctors, lawyers or investment bankers.

The London-based EdTech company hosted more than 15,000 students on one of its courses last academic year – including 325 from the UAE, its largest market overseas.
