The evening began with a networking dinner, creating a relaxed atmosphere for mentors and mentees to connect informally. During the meal, SMOU’s Membership team introduced the MySMOU mobile app—a digital one-stop platform designed to support seafarers with easy access to services and information—as well as shared SMOU benefits.

After the dinner, the mentorship orientation session began with YSMOU Manager Sherry Tan sharing the objectives of the programme. A trainer from Bold at Work then led the workshop with engaging and interactive activities to help build connection and understanding between the mentors and mentees.
