GoBeyond, a Goducate programme to help young professionals in all walks of their lives, will be officially launched in November.
From the start of their career to the daily grinds of life, young professionals face numerous challenges, regardless of their background or social status. Some of the issues include, but are not limited to, niche discovery, career advancement, and skills development. As a result of a variety of factors, many young professionals believe that their skills are no longer relevant or up to date, and that they have a gap that needs to be filled. They want to thrive and succeed, but they do not have the resources or training to do so, and there are no groups or peers who share the same interests for them to connect with. Such issues impact not only the individuals but also the nation’s progress.
That is why GoBeyond aspires to establish a movement that supports all young professionals, across the globe, by providing an avenue for them to create, connect, collaborate, and be part of a community in which they may all start their journey of discovering, learning, growing, and building healthy relationships.
With that goal in mind, we will implement various activities and programs, such as talks, seminars, training, and forums, to engage, equip, and empower young professionals. One of these is the Asia Forum for Leaders, which will host a series of talks by representatives ofpartnering organizations that are tailored to the specific needs and interests of our target market. Examples of these talks would be topics on the Marketplace, Leadership, Relationships, Passion, and Personal Development. Individual and group mentorship in various fields for guidance, counselling, and consultancy would also be available.
We hope that by doing so, people will discover their unique abilities, maximize them, and find that being a part of a global movement is enjoyable, fulfilling, and purposeful. These abilities should help them to develop leadership qualities and eventually become mentors to future generations of young professionals.
