HiPo® Student Program
A program that breeds
future leaders
Are you an A student who wants to take your college application to the next level? Are you a natural leader? Do you have dreams to change the world?
The High-Potential (HiPo®) Student Program is a one-of-a-kind acceleration program that empowers students to unlock their full leadership potential through various opportunities in career development.
The first online internship
for high school students
When it comes to internships for high school students in the region, we found that we fall quite short of the international standard. This is why we’ve created the HiPo Program – to give students a chance to work remotely with us at IVA, a growing edtech startup, to gain valuable experience and practical knowledge on entrepreneurship in the tech sector.
Student are encouraged to select their own roles – from marketing and business development to financial analysis and web development.
