Nope

Do not differentiate. By identifying them as "target grou" highlight their inadequacy, insecurity and being a "have not". Should emphases on their talents and build their confidence from there.

This programme should also impart values in the youths. Youths needs emotional support and also a clear reality check so that they understand that their actions impact a larger community and they have a fulfilling role to play in the society.

Promotion to parents of these families to assure them that you will be mentoring their child to provide them academic support. The youths must also feel that this project is meaningful for them to participate, and not some uncool project that wastes their

An apprenticeship, that is more than just simply mentoring but working alongside someone not just to earn work experience but guided with their life experience.

As a mentor yes. As a mentee, I feel that TAM needs to understand their target users more down to the root of the problem and the "why" behind their lack of motivation.

I don't really know, but I can share my own personal experience as I come from a low-income family. One advice I could give is exposure to people who have been through their path and achieved great success in whatever career they are in. I'm not talking a

Internships, attachments, or opportunities for hands-on exposure would be great for encouraging young people to take part - experiential learning might be more appealing than talks/befriending/mentoring

There should be a screening of participants for the program. Not all alumni or industry professionals make good/inspirational mentors and could potentially end up discouraging the youths instead. Similarly, the youths must have commitment to succeed, othe

Will your alumni, buddies and mentors have a similar background? If not, will there be some training provided to enable them to come from a place of greater understanding of the struggles that people from low-income families face? Will there be some role

I’m not your target user. I think you should speak with your target users and figure out what challenges they’re facing in their lives — e.g. some people may want to go to uni and even have scholarships available so money is not an issue BUT they have to

Have someone who came from a similar situation as them and eventually became quite successful in their career give a talk and endorse your program. Of course, they need to truly believe that your program will be beneficial for the youths.

I would say "motivation" is not a key reason why youths from low-income families do not explore alternative tertiary education options or uncommon career pathways. Many of them need to support their families and cannot afford the risk or opportunity costs

You could help them realise the benefit they will be reaping from this programme. At the end of the day , it comes down to changing their mindset. So you might have to state the obvious to them and make the process as simple as possible as well.
