I have learned so much! I never thought it would be fun as well as informative, I thought it was just a boring course but I have honestly enjoyed this so much. I met new people and interacted with them. It was wonderful!

My experience cannot be described! It was fun, amazing, interactive, and made me feel more confident about myself! If there are more courses like this, I will definitely take up the chance and won’t miss it.
Secondly, the teachers and the teaching method are AMAZING!! Thank you to iX and GEMS for providing this opportunity.

The biggest takeaway from my course was just having the opportunity to get real-world experience. I was lucky enough to get selected for an organisation that I am passionate about and that definitely helped make it enjoyable! I had the opportunity to network and make connections and practise real work. There was also so much teamwork involved in everything we did; it was very beneficial to have that experience. I also learned to not be afraid to ask questions. I am very grateful for this opportunity!

My experience in iX LaunchPad was one of a kind. So thrilling and filled with such positive people it is definitely something everybody needs to try.
I didn't know a lot about finance before i joined. I wanted to get a glimpse of what it was going to be like for me next year since I plan on taking a commerce stream.

I’ve learned that recruiters skip the education section in a resume and go straight to the skills section. The ability to apply skills is a measure of how successful a young person will be in the workplace.
