participants from university students and graduates to senior project
managers. We have two program streams named Career Booster and
Career Development. Through the feedback that we received from our
student and academic bodies, we identified the struggle that some of
the students or entry level project practitioners might have in transition
from university to the industry. Career Booster mentoring program is
designed to bridge this gap and help the participants to achieve their
short term career goals.
Career Development is our next mentoring program which is designed
for mid-career and senior professionals who would like to further develop
their career through longer term objectives and soft skills. So, no matter
