The WeConnect portal will be launched in the first quarter of next year. The portal is backed by the National Youth Council (NYC) and will connect Singaporean students and youths to 1,000 mentors from companies such as Facebook, Prudential and Unilever.
Students and youths will be able to receive advice from mentors on the educational paths they can take and how they can grow in both their careers and personal lives.
WeConnect will be a one-stop platform making it easier for both youth and potential mentors to participate in mentoring programmes. It will include listings from organisations with existing mentoring programmes such as the one run by non-profit organisation Advisory Singapore as well as employees from the private sector who have volunteered to share career advice and insights about their work experiences.
