In November 2020, On My Way (OMW) microsite was launched to empower and guide youths aged 15-25 in their educational and career journeys. The site garnered immense success, as measured by an independent impact assessment study which revealed that the site played a part in boosting youth’s confidence in making informed decisions about their education and career choices.
The team decided to ride on this success by further improving the onsite user experience and expanding to meet other evolving needs such as programme partners, and the business.

The programme module now provides a comprehensive end-to-end experience for youth, allowing them to seamlessly browse, select, and register for programs—all within a unified portal. This stands in contrast to the previous setup, where individuals had to navigate through different sources, like formsg, emails, and telegram group for various program registration, leading to a loss of consolidated youth data.
