SINGAPORE,  30th July 2021 – Prospect, a global recruitment business for the public relations and communications industry, today announced the launch of the 2021 Prospect Mentoring Scheme. Taking place in Singapore, Hong Kong and the UK, this is the second annual programme and brings together industry-leading mentors and mentees.

The inaugural Mentoring Scheme held last year was geared towards mentees whose career had been adversely affected by the global pandemic. More than 90 people took part, with leaders across agency and in-house communications functions in Asia and the UK participating as mentors. Mentees reported wide-ranging benefits of the programme including expanded perspectives of the industry as a whole, guidance around career advancement and increased self-confidence.

This year, the invitation to participate is extended to anyone in the PR and communications industry in Singapore, Hong Kong or the UK who could benefit from a mentorship. The programme will run from October 2021 to March 2022 and there is no cost to apply or take part.

“We’re thrilled to launch this year’s Mentoring Scheme, which has become an important service offering alongside our recruitment and coaching expertise,” said Emma Dale, Co-founder and Managing Director, Asia, Prospect. “We were encouraged to continue the Mentoring Scheme by the positive response and significant benefits reported by the mentors and mentees who participated in last year’s programme. We look forward to supporting the professional endeavors of a new cohort this year.”

“My mentee has forced me to challenge my own (outdated) beliefs around young people in the workplace. She’s helped me to understand what is important to the next generation of talented workers and how to be a better boss to my own team,” said one mentor in the 2020 Prospect Mentoring Scheme.

“It was so valuable to get the perspective of a seasoned professional as I was transitioning into a new role,” said one Mentee. Another said, “It’s been a great experience for me to connect with people in the industry.”
