SINGAPORE - Youths in Asean will be able to find regional internship placements and networking opportunities more easily, thanks to a new programme launched on Sunday that is open to those in the region aged between 18 and 30.
Launched by President Halimah Yacob at the GCNS Youth Forum 2019, this programme aims to provide Asean youth with learning, volunteering and career development opportunities in sustainability. GCNS said that membership will cost $50 per person, and that youths who sign up in groups of ten will receive a discount of ten per cent.
"It is good to get youths involved in sustainability before they even enter the workforce. They can then make more informed choices and this would signal to companies that sustainability is something to take seriously, especially if they want to hire the best talent." Responding to a question from a Cambodian dialogue participant about the struggle some have to see Asean's relevance, Madam Halimah acknowledged that this is a"common problem" across Asean countries. She noted that some people fail to see the regional grouping's significance and are disinterested in what it is about.
