What is I.G.N.I.T.E.?

I.G.N.I.T.E.

When you I.G.N.I.T.E. something generally it means to activate, kick-start, or to begin a transformation.

We believe that I.G.N.I.T.E is a set of character qualities that students can have in the workplace that make individuals good at their job. These same character traits can be applied in life as students progress into adulthood.
