About us

Hello! TAC is a non-profit initiative founded in 2014 to help support our youths on their journey of career exploration. We personally experienced how the lack of exposure and access to diverse careers and pathways, fueled by society's perception of what makes a "good job" inadvertently limited what we considered as possible career options. Many of us deferred to dominant notions of success and stuck to conventional pathways. So we thought - what if we could bring together a collective of volunteer professionals from diverse walks of life to help younger versions of us openly explore the world of work? Almost like astronauts exploring the new and unfamiliar worlds. Maybe we can help the youths to discover careers that they are motivated to pursue and can find meaning in. :) HOW YOU CAN HELP We all can play a part to help younger versions of ourselves on their journey of career exploration. As a working professional with rich experiences and stories, join us as a volunteer to help make a difference! TAC has a range of volunteering opportunities of differing involvement levels (be it more one-off or ongoing types) for those of us at varying life and career stages. We also have a team of experienced volunteers (many of us are also school teachers!) to help you kickstart and scaffold your volunteering experience. We run online (Zoom) Open Day sessions every month, short 60-min sessions to share with interested individuals more about what we do. If helping youths make sense of the vast world of work resonates with you, come join us at our next Open Day!

    Empowering People Development, Employee Engagement, and Employer Branding with Tech and Analytics | DDDLP, ACTA/ACLP, ACIT

    As leaders and managers, it's crucial to stay ahead of the curve by understanding the unique characteristics, preferences, and needs of the upcoming generations. Gen Z (born between 1997 and 2012) and Gen Alpha (born from 2013 onwards) are digital natives who are reshaping the landscape of work. By comprehending their mindset, we can tailor our approaches to better empower success. Last month, I had the privilege of attending a thought-provoking networking session by The Astronauts Collective (TAC) where Marvin Kang shared some fascinating trends surrounding the emerging workforce. Here's some insights and tips for engaging Gen Z and Gen Alpha: 👨🏻💻 Embrace Technology: These generations are digital natives who have grown up surrounded by technology. Incorporate digital tools, interactive platforms, and multimedia resources to connect and enhance engagement. 💬 Foster Collaboration: Gen Z and Gen Alpha thrive in collaborative environments where they can connect, share ideas, and work together. Encourage teamwork, group projects, and peer-to-peer learning opportunities. 🔑 Personalization is Key: Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all employee benefits. Personalize total rewards to cater to individual interests, strengths, and working styles. 🧭 Meaning and Purpose at Work: Both Gen Z and Gen Alpha are passionate about making a difference in the world. Incorporate opportunities for social impact to foster a sense of purpose and meaning for them. As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of work, let's commit to understanding and empowering the next generations to thrive in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. How do you adapt your approach to manage and engage Gen Z and Gen Alpha in the workplace? #GenZ #GenAlpha #WorkTrends #FutureOfWork #Innovation #Collaboration #totalrewards #hrcommunity #hrpractices #progressivepolicies #digitalnative

    🚀Honored to have attended a phenomenal mentoring event hosted by The Astronauts Collective (TAC)🌌 I am happy to know that I can play a bigger part in their ambitious plans to empower more youths in the year ahead, including expanding initiatives to touch the lives of those who need more help🌟 If I could sum up my experience in one sentence, being a career mentor is like playing the GPS for someone's professional journey – minus the occasional "recalculating" moments (well, mostly). We relish not only about getting to the end destination, but enjoy the moments with the winds against our hairs as well. Above all, superbly grateful to be part of a caring community-turned-friends who share the same dedication to fostering growth and leadership. Excited about the impact we can collectively make!🌠 Let's play our part to help younger versions of ourselves on their journey of career exploration!🚀 Sign up as a volunteer today: https://lnkd.in/g6b9Rfv4 #careermentoring #TheAstronautsCollective #YouthEmpowerment #futureofwork
