In February 2025, Brave Institute of Science launched an innovative mentorship programme designed to bridge the gap between academic study and professional practice across its integrated educational framework. This initiative pairs students from K-12 through postgraduate levels with industry professionals and seasoned academics, offering personalised guidance and career insights.
The mentorship programme is structured to provide students with exposure to real-world challenges and opportunities within STEM fields, aligning closely with the institute’s emphasis on practical application and innovation. K-12 students receive early career exploration, whilst university undergraduates gain assistance with internship placements and skill development. Postgraduate researchers benefit from guidance on research commercialisation, academic publishing, and networking within their specialised disciplines.
Key to the programme is its bespoke matching system, which considers student interests, career aspirations, and academic focus to ensure meaningful and productive mentorship pairings. Monthly workshops, seminars, and networking events supplement the individual mentoring relationships, creating a vibrant ecosystem of support and collaboration.
By integrating this mentorship initiative, Brave Institute of Science not only enhances its students’ career readiness but also fosters a culture of lifelong learning and professional development. This strategic investment reflects a growing trend in private education where institutions are proactively equipping students with the skills, knowledge, and networks necessary to succeed in an increasingly competitive global job market.
