They will help youth chart career, life goals; plans to extend initiative to other polys, ITE
More than 10,000 students from Singapore Polytechnic will have better access to mentors over the next three years to help them chart their career and life goals, as part of a national effort to make mentoring more accessible to youth.
Mentoring SG, a national-level office, has partnered with the polytechnic to launch the first school-based Youth Mentoring Hub.
Mr Kelvin Kong, executive director of Mentoring SG, said that Singapore Polytechnic will have spaces to carry out mentorship events and plan mentoring initiatives. Details about the programme are not available.
Plans are also under way to roll out more of such spaces at other polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) by the end of 2026.
Minister of State for Culture, Community and Youth Alvin Tan said three industry-specific mentoring groups in the areas of technology and telecommunications, sustainability and semiconductors were formed in 2024.
