R_IGNITE NPC’S Mentoring and Coaching

Objectives

We conduct workshops for unemployed graduates and university students, leveraging the Japanese concept of ‘Ikigai’ as popularized by Associate Professor Akihiro Hasegawa. Through these unique workshops, we guide young individuals in their quest for purpose, helping them seamlessly connect their mission, passion, vocation, and profession, empowering them to navigate their life journey with a clear sense of direction.

Our mission is to establish a platform that serves as a bridge, connecting mentees seeking guidance with experienced mentors and coaches.

Our goal is to empower young people to discover and embrace their sense of purpose.

We nurture their intentional mindset to make meaningful contributions to others and help them connect with purposeful pursuits and opportunities that align with their values, ultimately enabling them to support others in ways that resonate with their personal goals and aspirations.
