CAAS, NTUC roll out $2.6m aviation early-career mentorship scheme

Ground handling and line maintenance staff will get priority mentorship for over five years.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) have launched a $2.6m programme for early career support in the aviation sector.

The OneAviation Early Careers Mentorship Programme will provide structured mentorship support to 2,200 early-career workers over the next five years, starting with employees in ground handling and line maintenance operations roles.

Meanwhile, participating employers will receive consultancy support to integrate mentorship into onboarding and induction processes, as well as mentor-mentee matching services.

The programme will also provide playbooks, tracking tools, and impact measurement platforms.

It will be funded through CAAS’s $200m OneAviation Manpower Fund and managed by NTUC LearningHub.

The initiative aims to prepare the industry for rising air travel demand and the opening of Changi Airport Terminal 5 in the mid-2030s, which is expected to increase passenger handling capacity by around 50 million passengers annually.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
