The CDAC Youth Engagement Framework includes Project Aspirar (targeted at Secondary 3-5 students) and the Youth Empowerment & Aspiration Programme (targeted at CDAC Post-Secondary Bursary Recipients who are full-time post-secondary students). The CDAC Youth Programme is designed to inspire and encourage students to develop life skills through the provision of opportunities, resources, and the development of a supportive community to help them foster resilience and realise their potential.

The overarching aim is to nurture and track a core group of CDAC youth beneficiaries across a range of programmes; through mentoring, corporate partnerships as well as holistic and deepened support for social mobility.
