Industry Mentoring

Introduced in 2017, the Industry Mentorship Programme is a joint initiative between the Centre for Career Readiness and Young NTUC.

Designed with the intention to prepare our students in anticipation of their foray into the workplace, the mentorship programme serves as a perfect platform to connect you to the industry, whilst providing a deeper understanding of working life. Paired with an Industry Mentor from the relevant industry, you gain industry-specific career advice and guidance in developing your career path, as well as broadening your perspectives on career opportunities and aspirations.

Ultimately, we hope to build and acquire a pipeline of alumni mentors across industries as our graduates become working professionals.

Be an Industry Mentor

Be the one to inspire and guide our students. Support your mentee and provide career-related advice to help them develop their career path. At the same time, challenge and broaden their perspective on career opportunities and aspirations. Join us as a mentor to:

  • Make a difference and contribute to the future in a student’s life
  • Share your professional knowledge and personal experience
  • Develop and enhance personal leadership and coaching style
  • Gain valuable insights about working with mentees from different background to your own

Please note that mentors have to be residing in Singapore. Mentors from an industry related to the list of participating degree programmes (refer below) will be shown preference.
