Allianz Asia Pacific Doubles Participation in Second Year of MoveNow Mentoring Program

Singapore, 2 April 2025

Allianz Asia Pacific celebrated the launch of the second year of its MoveNow Mentoring Program. In collaboration with Halogen Foundation and Singapore Disability Sports Council, the initiative aims to empower young talents and para-athletes by equipping them with the skills, confidence, and networks needed for a successful transition into the workforce.

Building on the success of its 2024 debut, the initiative has already made a measurable impact. Last year, over 75% of mentees reported gaining clarity in their core values and passions, helping them make more informed career decisions. Many also discovered new strengths that boosted their confidence, and left the program with a better understanding of career pathways, first-job expectations, and a clearer roadmap for the future.

Recognition from Mentoring.SG

In 2024, Allianz MoveNow Mentoring Program was named a finalist for the Corporate Excellence Award at the National Mentoring Summit, organised by Mentoring SG and the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY). This recognition affirms the program’s early success and its commitment in supporting youth and para-athletes in Singapore through structured, purpose-driven mentoring.

Second Year of the Program Has Seen Increased Participation

In its second year, the program has seen double the participation of mentees, each paired with a dedicated mentor. Together, they form a growing ecosystem of leaders committed to sharing insights, refining the mentorship experience, and creating even more opportunities for young professionals and para-athletes to thrive.
