To build a thriving social sector, we need intermediaries—organisations that bring in talent, inspire engagement, and support growth. ILSS is truly embodying this role. The social sector needs passionate advocates to ignite awareness and draw people to the cause. Only then can we see a transformative influx of people ready to make a difference.
ILSS is building an alumni network that offers invaluable exposure—and connects individuals with inspiring leaders from the development sector. For those ready to say, 'Yes, this is my path,' it's an incredible stepping stone toward making a meaningful switch.
ILSS is playing a critical role in building the next generation of leaders.
The ILSS programs provide a timely intervention that opens pathways for individuals in the social sector, revealing meaningful opportunities beyond the corporate world. Many seek to make a change and connect with grassroots efforts, and ILSS equips them with the training and leadership skills to transition into impactful roles.
