One week until the Access Social Mobility Summit 2026! ✨

This year’s Summit convenes leaders across government, academia, philanthropy, education, and industry to examine the realities shaping social mobility in Singapore and the collective action required to drive meaningful progress.

We are honoured to welcome Mr Shawn Loh, Member of Parliament for Jalan Besar GRC, as our Special Guest who will be delivering the Opening Speech.

The Summit will conclude with a fireside chat featuring our Guest of Honour, Minister Ong Ye Kung, moderated by Professor Tan Tai Yong, on the future of social mobility in Singapore.

Swipe through to meet our incredible line-up of speakers and moderators who will be joining us for important conversations on social mobility, opportunity, and the future of Singapore.

Thank you for the overwhelming support for the Access Social Mobility Summit 2026.

We look forward to welcoming attendees next week as we unpack the realities behind opportunity, inequality, and the systems shaping social mobility in Singapore today.

See you there!

Gen Zs are not “less hungry.”
They’re entering a world that feels harder to survive in, and even harder to break through.

Some are juggling school while worrying about bills at home.
Some never had access to tuition, networks, career guidance, or even the confidence that comes from being told “you belong here too.”

Yet they still show up.
Still study.
Still work part-time.
Still try.

At Access, we believe social mobility is not just about talent. It is also about access, exposure, support, and people who believe in you before the world does.

Because no young person should have to stop dreaming just because survival came first.

Gen Zs are not lazy.
They are exhausted, pressured, and trying to make it in a system that was never equally built for everyone.

And that’s exactly why support matters. 💙

Feeling damn lost about your future?
Same.

The job market right now is rough, and sometimes it feels like everyone else already knows what they are doing.

That is exactly why AFP exists.

The Access Fellowship Programme is a 6-week mentorship and career programme where you get to:
✨ Meet corporate mentors
✨ Connect with companies like LinkedIn, EY, SHEIN & more
✨ Get real career advice
✨ Build your resume and portfolio
✨ Learn what employers are actually looking for
✨ Network with industry professionals
✨ Add AFP to your resume and LinkedIn

Most opportunities are not just about talent.
They are about access.

Access to mentors.
Access to networks.
Access to rooms you normally would never enter.

If you are an ITE, Polytechnic, or University student trying to figure things out, this programme was built for you.

Applications are now open 🤍

It’s graduation season 🎓
And for many polytechnic graduates, the next step feels almost predetermined:
Get a degree. Even in the same field, they’ve already spent years studying.
But we rarely stop to ask why.
Sometimes, it’s not just about the pay gap.
It’s about choosing the path that feels safest. The one that doesn’t invite questions. The “acceptable” route.
But what if there was another way?
One built on real work, real mentorship, and a real salary from day one.

That’s what Access Apprenticeships was created for.
An 18-month pathway with established companies across hospitality, energy, audit, and community sectors, for youths who want to grow through hands-on experience and meaningful exposure.

It’s not for everyone.
But for the right person, it might just be the better path.
Applications for our current intake have closed, but we hope this sparks more conversations around alternative pathways and what success can look like beyond the conventional route.

On today's series of Who We Are Wednesdays, we have Kuan Ze, Access's Programmes Intern. His advice of 'trusting the process' hits close to home for many of us as more often than not, we find ourselves a little lost on whether we should keep trying or choose to pivot.

👉 What's your most memorable "trust the process" moment you've had? Let's inspire each other:

Wishing everyone a meaningful and well-deserved Labour Day!

Back in January, we wrapped up an inspiring career exploration session at the CPF Board,

In partnership with the team, students from St Andrew’s JC and Tampines Meridian JC got a firsthand look into the working world, starting with engaging CPF fundamentals sessions that made complex ideas easy to understand.

The day continued with an immersive office tour and small-group conversations, where professionals shared their real career journeys and what it’s like to be part of such an impactful organisation.

One of the highlights? A candid “real talk” fireside chat, filled with honest stories about challenges, growth, and lessons learned. Our students showed up curious and engaged, asking thoughtful questions before ending the day with a lively networking session 💬

We’re incredibly grateful to the CPFB team for their openness and generosity in mentoring our youth. Moments like these make a lasting impact, helping young people build confidence, connections, and clarity for their future 🚀

On today's series of Who We Are Wednesdays, we have Zhi An, Access's Programmes Executive, who's sharing about something memorable that she's experienced during her time spent with youths at our various programmes.

Her experience with a student taught her that valuable life takeaways don't just have to come from adults; sometimes it's the students that inspire us instead✨

25/02/2026

Today with us on Who We Are Wednesdays✨🪩, we have Yusrina! She's a programmes executive with Access, and programmes wouldn't have been possible without her!

A food she would correlate her time here with us is Chicken Rice! Another well-loved staple amongst Singaporeans (Our team seems to really love local foods) The rationale? Watch the video to find out🤭
