Existing mentorship programmes are often generic and not personalised which may lead to a mismatch between user and the mentors.
How can we better identify the right mentors for our youths?

How can we better identify the right mentors for our youths?
MatcHub aims to empower youth to make better informed career and education choices to identify and travel on their ideal career path.
The team will help to match mentors and mentees based on their working styles and personalities, as well as their job roles and industry interests. They will also develop and build a community and ecosystem where mentees will become mentors and guide their juniors, giving and returning back to the community.

Good initiative. Would be good to think about working with educational institutions to utilise such mentorship tools so that students can access such tools during school time. This would ensure that all students are given the opportunity to do so.
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
The idea of different programme structures is interesting and could add value to the mentorship experience. Team may wish to consider how to leverage the natural synergies that exist within communities of mentors and mentees (e.g. sharing experiences and best practices) as a next bound.

How do you ensure the AI-powered system is good at making matches?
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
can think about how would you ensure that the mentors would stay on/be committed if money is not part of an ongoing incentive
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
Maybe look into the part where what do the youths need from the mentors? We usually have multiple mentors for various things - there\'s one who you generally talk to about aspirations, one who you are looking for to execute a project, another one who has a great network who could link you to more people etc.

The idea of the AI matching is good. however, speaking from a data scientist point of view, the method to collect data to train the model might be difficult. Things like personality might also be very specific which results in difficulty in training the model to be as accurate as you would like. Suggestion to figure out which aspects of personality are relevant and what tests would you like to do to determine this
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
I am open to the idea of sharing thoughts and opinions of my industry so that more people can benefit from it. Probably not so much of the money factor that will affect my decision to contribute but it will definitely makes me happier to share.

If the incentives be money, will you guys be able to make it affordable? If so is there any other resources you can tap on to make this initiative more affordable ?
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
Maybe explore creating an impact chart, to encourage and keep up the energy and momentum of people who are either giving or receiving mentoring.

The mentor/ mentee can also share their experience on the program and how it helps them in their career and why they want to be in the programme. The mentor can also provide more info on their career journey and if they would like to continue in their career or switch career and if they will want a mentor themselves to guide them in the next stage of their career.

Mentors have good cred e.g from big companies or high achievers so they can value add more

If this program is successfully, this would bridge gaps to every individuals in the Job Markets. Like the phrase \"Sharing is caring\", it is vital that successful professionals are able to share their success stories to interested job seekers so that job seekers can understand what the job and sector requires. Additionally, interested sharing mentors can help to guide the next generation of job seekers to ensure the continuity of that job sector. Although monetary incentives may be required to entice such mentors to provide career guidance, it doesn\'t have to be very high. Ultimately, it can be treated as a form of \"part-time\" or \"allowance\" for these mentors to \"give back\" to society in the form of job markets.

adding more filter when pairing a mentor with a mentee!!
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
I was a user of this platform and I can personally vouch for it\'s effectiveness and efficiency. However one thing that can be improved on would be that instead of suggesting jobs and internships to users, it would be better to have a list of curated offerings and internships on the platform and let the users themselves choose instead of being recommended. Also, it would be good to have a strength/weakness/interest report so that students are more self aware and can decide their career path with greater ease with the information granted to them through AI generated reports.

Give more information about how you plan to put personalisation into practice. This seems to be a key factor that can affect job-seekers and recruitment firms\' decision making process.
