In a project launched in cooperation with Singapore’s National Youth Council, KPMG has just announced it will offer 10,000 hours of mentoring, job shadowing, and learning exchanges for young Singaporeans.
The programme “Discover. Experience. Enable.” is designed to prepare them for future jobs in a green and digital age, with a focus on high-growth global sectors such as AI, decarbonisation, and sustainable impact.
It will run throughout 2026 and be provided by KPMG’s professionals to students and young graduates aged 19 to 28:
“The initiative aims to expose these youths with the human skills that AI cannot replicate — creativity, critical thinking and ethical judgment — all through tailored mentoring opportunities with KPMG’s industry specialists and experts.”
Participants will meet mentors from Audit, Tax, Consulting, and Deal Advisory to discuss AI, innovation, sustainability, and workforce transformation in the Singaporean context. KPMG professionals will also share their industry experiences, case studies, and challenges in dealing with emerging technologies (like AI) and achieving sustainable growth.
“The next generation will inherit an economy shaped by AI and the environment. We’re equipping tomorrow’s changemakers to lead at the nexus of innovation and sustainability, by cultivating versatile skillsets that are valued across industries and essential to shaping a more resilient future.”
Shelley Chan, Partner-in-charge, People, Performance & Culture, KPMG Singapore
Job experience sessions will be available as well, running three times in 2026. They will allow you to spend a day at the company, observing the work of consultants, tax specialists, or sustainability experts, helping you figure out how your interests align with on-the-job reality.
In the age of job-hugging, as described in the Straits Times a few days ago, it might be well worth it to gather practical insights from one of the biggest companies, currently navigating the changes brought by AI as well as Singapore’s ambitions to become one of the hubs of green industries.
When & how?
Registrations for the project start in early 2026 and, as you may well imagine, the number of available places for each mentoring cycle will be limited.
You can read more about the initiative on KPMG’s website. For registration, you need to head over to the National Youth Council’s “Discover On My Way” platform and follow the updates there.
