Every young person deserves someone who believes in them
iASPIRE [Young Talents]
iASPIRE was born from a simple realisation: too many young adults step into the working world feeling uncertain about their careers, their choices, and even themselves. While systems measure grades and outcomes, they often overlook what matters most: belief, aspiration, and the encouragement of someone who truly cares.
iASPIRE connects students, recent graduates and young adults with experienced mentors who can offer real-world perspectives, ask the right questions and help you navigate the transition from classroom to workplace.
Whether you are exploring your options, starting your first job or figuring out your next move, mentoring gives you the space to talk things through, gain perspective and move forward with greater confidence.
Target Audience
- Youths and students (17–25) navigating uncertainty or disadvantage
- Undergraduates and fresh graduates unsure of career direction
- Individuals from underserved or fragile socio-economic backgrounds
- Young people at life, academic, or career crossroads

- Help participants clarify aspirations, strengths, and next steps
- Connect mentees to mentors who open doors to education and opportunity
- Reduce disengagement, dropout risk, and long-term underemployment
- Redirect life trajectories toward growth and contribution
Our Testimonials
Hear from others
“This mentorship journey has evolved to become something that is very close to my heart. I’ve been blessed with amazing mentors, John being one of them. With the help of John, I learnt a lot more about myself that I didn’t know existed. With this newfound knowledge, I will be able to pursue my passions with a better understanding of my own needs and wants.”

Mentee“Joining the Voices of Asia mentorship program was one of the best decisions I made as a graduating student amidst the COVID 19 pandemic. Rocky’s mentorship will leave a lasting impact on my personal and professional development and I am so grateful for it.”

Alina Toh
Mentee“I have been a mentor for several programs including Voices of Asia. To me, mentoring gives me a broader view of young people, their ambitions, and their issues and challenges. Also, it made me realise that I have useful experience and information that can be valued by someone else and help give some life direction. Mentoring is a 2-way street with the mentee, and it’s a privilege to be involved. It’s nice to know that I can be part of someone else’s success.”

“It has been such an enriching experience, and in turn I have learnt so much from my mentee as well. I would encourage all to come forward to join us as mentors and mentees. It’s in the strength of a community where we collectively look out and care for one another that we can build a stronger and more inclusive society.”

Mervyn Lim
Mentor“It was a fulfilling experience for me personally to help and guide Alina as she begins her exciting journey into the business world. Today was our last coaching session, and we were both elated to hear that Alina just got a job offer, and the goal of this mentorship was actually achieved! I look forward to hearing about her future success over the years”
