About the inemmo ‘Levelling-Up’ Programme

Inemmo’s ‘Levelling-Up’ coaching programme is a resounding success, offering crucial support to young individuals facing various forms of inequality and discrimination.

Starting with weekly sessions, the programme gradually adapts to the mentee’s growing confidence, tailoring interventions based on ongoing assessments. Remarkably, this valuable program is entirely cost-free for these young individuals.

The impact is profound. It nurtures their resilience, boosts self-understanding, refines emotional intelligence, encourages self-direction, responsibility, and drives career advancement. Since its launch in 2015, the programme has witnessed significant growth.

Joy Maitland and Atiya Sheikh, the visionary directors of Inemmo, are wholeheartedly committed to connecting with individuals at their current stage and helping them achieve their desired objectives.
