For more than 50 years, IREX has worked in over 100 countries to help people solve problems, build trust, and create better opportunities for themselves and their communities.

What drives our work: 

We believe real progress comes from investing in people, building relationships that last, and creating the conditions where trust can grow.

We focus on three horizon goals that define our impact:

• Leaders bridge divides – Leaders collaborate with communities, institutions, and the private sector to build trust, co-create solutions, and deliver results.
• Learners succeed in the world of work – People enter and advance in dignified employment through education and training that respond to their needs and the evolving demands of work.
• People thrive in a technology-, AI-, and data-driven world – They exercise agency, make informed choices, drive innovation, and ensure that digital progress advances human well-being.

How we work

We partner with governments, businesses, community groups, universities, and local organizations to solve problems together—not just deliver programs. We bring deep expertise, connect people through our global networks, and work side-by-side with those who share our commitment to making things better.

Young people are at the heart of what we do. As pioneers in youth engagement, we've been working with the next generation for decades because we know investing in young people creates the biggest impact—they're building stronger economies, sparking innovation, and shaping the future right now.

We're focused on results. With teams working around the world, we combine real expertise with the flexibility to adapt and solve the problems that matter most to the people and communities we serve.
