CareerBoost is a ground-up mentorship initiative designed to empower job seekers with lower academic qualifications to access, confidently build, and apply industry-relevant skills for sustainable careers by connecting them with mentors who have successfully navigated non-traditional career paths.
Participants will receive practical support in resume writing, interview preparation, and navigating available training and job resources through small, in-person group sessions held in accessible community spaces. Each mentee is provided with a starter kit, including templates, worksheets, and a guidebook of curated career resources.
Unlike conventional digital advisory services, CareerBoost fosters community-based support and peer motivation. The initiative partners with Workforce Singapore, a government programme, while also engaging corporate CSR programmes to source volunteer mentors. By focusing on accessibility, relevance, and encouragement, CareerBoost helps individuals build the confidence, skills, and networks needed to take their next professional step—ultimately improving employment outcomes and economic mobility for underrepresented groups in Singapore.
