What Our Clients Say

Real stories from professionals who have transformed their careers with IPR.

I had no idea where to start when trying to make the switch from teaching to the tech industry, but the PIVOT Program helped me find ways to articulate and translate my experience in ways that were valuable. I landed a tech job a few weeks after completing the program!

H. Schell
Former Teacher

I offer to pay for all new hires who are interested in taking any of the IPR credential courses. I cannot express the difference our leadership team has seen in communication skills, confidence, and professionalism since beginning to offer this to our staff.

K. Mitchell
Senior Executive

Through college my only focus had been football and where it might take me next. After college, I was able to easily obtain a job but I was feeling stuck after about two years in consulting with no promotion or raise. After an L&D session with IPR, I was able to obtain both.
