Inspired by Catherine Ryan Hyde in her book of the same title (2000), the expression “Pay It Forward” describes the concept of a third party beneficiary in which a creditor offers the debtor the option to “repay” the debt by forwarding the payments to a third person instead of repaying the original creditor. Debt and payments can be monetary or can also be paid as good deeds (Wikipedia). Essentially, “Pay It Forward” is a self-perpetuating endowment that can be transferred to succeeding generations of IPL attendees.

The long-term purpose of the concept, “Pay It Forward,” is to develop, maintain, and perpetuate the IPL program for future generations of IPL candidates. When “Pay It Forward” becomes a widespread spiritual tradition of IPL and of many future generations, there will be substantially more opportunities for our highly motivated students to develop their leadership potential without having to worry about financial burdens.

With the hope of pushing connection among entrepreneurs and contributing more for Vietnamese entr preneurship community’s development; IPL has established a program e called “Connect trainees – entrepreneurs”. The program aims to connect trainees looking for a “right” job in corporate with entrepreneurs in needs of HR. This establishment is expected to bring more values to entrepreneurs and potential leaders.
