Youth
Engagement

There are five key thrusts underlying the Youth Engagement TDC:

1. Academic
   Through various innovative educational programmes, pedagogies and instructional modes, the TDC seeks to enhance understanding of how the youth can better learn and be more effectively engaged.
    
2. Professional Development
   Through activities and competitions, the TDC serves to enable the youth to serve as a change agent in the social sector by engaging in a process of continuous innovation, adaptation and learning [Youth Social Entrepreneurship].
    
3. Industry
   The TDC gears towards being a strategic marketing resource hub that connects industry brands with the 17-34 year old youth demographic.
    
4. Technology
   In collaboration with the Market Research (MR) Lab, the TDC engages youth in the participation in programs and projects that aims to promote technology as a tool for personal and professional development.
    
5. Social and Cultural
   The TDC seeks to understand how the youth respond to cultural and social issues and encourage youth participation and involvement in addressing these issues.
