WHY ETY?

THE PROBLEM we are solving

After 15 years of school education, graduates are still not equipped with the skills, knowledge, network, and guidance needed to secure a fulfilled future*.

By the way! our concept is not new. We experimented with it in 2021 for a younger age range. we welcomed 45 students from 11 different countries in 2021.

OUR Key findings WERE:

  1. Parents seek urgent solutions and are strongly aware that schools should do more regarding career exploration, skills building, and networking

  2. Feedback highlights greater urgency among 14-16-year-olds

  3. Even in their youth, students were keenly curious about the practical realm of careers. Their level of engagement surpassed anything their parents had observed previously.

  • We are a dedicated collective of driven professionals and entrepreneurs hailing from renowned companies such as Google, IBM, BCG, and PwC. Our shared mission is to democratize career exploration, ensuring that young students gain timely access to invaluable insights for their future paths.

  • It involves realizing one's potential, experiencing meaningful connections with others, contributing positively to society, and living in alignment with one's values and beliefs.

    At ETY, we believe it is only possible by doing what you enjoy and love doing, and ideally, what you’re talented at.

  • As professionals, we understand what today's youth need to succeed in tomorrow's workplace. Drawing from our experiences working closely with young interns, we've identified common gaps and aim to address them for our students' benefit throughout our sessions.

  • ETY complements school. We are here to bridge the gap between what traditional schools offer and what students need before graduation.

  • We believe the knowledge and skills students gain will be immediately beneficial, even in today's everyday life, socially, and in the academic landscape.
