See what the interns have to say...

"ILIA has allowed me to do actual work I wouldn't have been able to at a normal job for teens, and I've gotten important work experience from day one." -Ahmed R, College Freshman

"I don't know where I would be without my ILIA internship." -Jannah, grade 11

"ILIA has helped me do better with my communication and project management." -Hanan, grade 12

"ILIA gave me a purpose besides school; ILIA gave me the opportunity to educate youth and it taught me very important skills that I will use later on in life." -Mahmoud, grade 10


"The APPL certification course has impacted me by broadening my insights and allowing me to learn new topics and ideas. An instrumental part of this is having discussions and exchanging thoughts on an idea." -Adam, grade 12

"ILIA has allowed me to gain valuable real-life experiences and enhance my communication skills." -Sumaya, grade 10.

I know the program is coming to an end, but I just wanted to reach out and say thank you! This has been an amazing experience that I greatly appreciate. Being 15 its hard to find programs like this one that give me the opportunity to meet business minded people my age. I’ve learned so much and made so many connections during this short period of time.  

-- Jamaria, Grade 10.
