PETALING JAYA: After helping more than 58,000 students discover their passion over the last eight years, Commonwealth Youth Awards 2023 finalist Mathura Kannan is far from done.
Being the only Malaysian among 20 finalists, the 27-year-old co-founder and adviser of international youth organisation Ascendance said she was surprised when she was shortlisted for the awards.
This is done by providing students with access to talks and seminars with top professors and business leaders from around the world.The organisation hopes to give students the hands-on exposure and knowledge they need to find the right career path. “It also made us realise the importance of such an approach in guiding youths towards their future careers, which is why we founded Ascendance together soon after,” she said.
“I hope these new connections help to create more opportunities for cooperation and accelerate the growth in youth development efforts globally,” she said.
