Why Make The Change Is Relaunching Younite
At Make The Change, we have always believed that creativity is a universal language.
We have trained thousands of students across Singapore in digital storytelling, AI-powered creation, media production, and changemaker skills. In classrooms, community centres, and workshops, we’ve seen something powerful:
Talent is everywhere.
Opportunity is not.
This reality becomes even clearer when working with Persons with Disabilities, or PWDs.
The challenge is not ability.
The challenge is access.
And that is why inclusive hiring must move from conversation to commitment.
What We’ve Learned on the Ground
Through our programmes, we have worked with:
Youths with learning differences
Individuals with physical impairments
Creatives navigating mental health challenges
Talents who thrive in alternative learning environments
When given structured guidance, the right tools, and belief, they do not just participate.
They excel.
We’ve seen participants produce compelling videos, design powerful digital art, build AI-assisted campaigns, and present confidently to live audiences.
The traditional hiring system, however, often fails to see this potential.
Rigid job descriptions.
Overemphasis on conventional interviews.
Workplaces not designed for flexibility.
These are not talent problems.
They are system design problems.
And systems can be redesigned.
Inclusion Is Not a CSR Add-On
As a Certified B Corp, Make The Change believes business must go beyond profit.
Inclusive hiring is not charity.
It is not tokenism.
It is not about meeting quotas.
It is about building stronger organisations.
Research consistently shows that diverse teams are more innovative and better at problem-solving. But beyond research, we see this every day in our classrooms:
When different minds collaborate, creativity multiplies.
If we are serious about preparing youth for the future of work, then we must also prepare the future of work for youth of all abilities.
Why We Are Relaunching Younite
That belief is the foundation behind the relaunch of Younite.
Younite began as a freelance matching platform.
But as we worked more deeply with our communities, we realised something important:
Employment cannot just be transactional.
It must be developmental.
The new Younite is evolving into an inclusive employment ecosystem designed to:
Equip PWDs and marginalised talents with relevant digital skills
Build confidence through structured creative pathways
Support companies in redesigning inclusive hiring practices
Create a bridge between training and meaningful paid opportunities
This is not about placing candidates into jobs they struggle to sustain.
It is about preparing talents to thrive.
The Digital Economy Creates New Possibilities
The future of work is increasingly:
Remote-friendly
Skills-based
Project-driven
Technology-enabled
AI tools reduce barriers.
Digital platforms remove geographical constraints.
Creative software allows self-expression without traditional gatekeeping.
Many roles in content creation, social media, AI-assisted design, research, and digital coordination can be performed flexibly.
When companies rethink job design, new doors open.
Younite focuses on building pathways in areas such as:
AI content creation
Digital storytelling and media production
Creative productivity and design
Remote collaboration and communication
These are not niche skills.
They are future-ready capabilities.
From Classroom to Career
Make The Change has always been about building changemakers.
But changemaking does not stop at awareness campaigns or school competitions.
Real change happens when:
Skills lead to income.
Confidence leads to opportunity.
Inclusion leads to independence.
Younite is the next step in that journey.
It allows us to extend our impact beyond training and into employment.
It ensures that the digital skills we teach are not just creative exercises, but stepping stones toward sustainable livelihoods.
A Call to Employers
If you are an organisation looking to hire:
Start by asking not “Can they fit into our system?”
But “Can we design a better system?”
Inclusive hiring is not about lowering standards.
It is about redefining value.
It is about recognising that:
Focus can look different.
Communication can look different.
Strengths can look different.
But results can still be exceptional.
Younite partners with organisations to:
Identify suitable roles
Structure flexible engagement models
Support onboarding and integration
Create meaningful, not symbolic, inclusion
A Call to Talents
If you are a person with a disability who has felt overlooked:
Your creativity is valid.
Your skills matter.
Your contribution is needed.
Younite is not just a job portal.
It is a community.
A place to grow, build, collaborate, and connect with organisations ready to see your strengths.
The Bigger Picture
At Make The Change, we believe the future of work must be inclusive by design.
We cannot train thousands of future-ready youths and ignore those systematically left out of opportunity.
We cannot speak about sustainability and exclude human potential.
We cannot talk about innovation while hiring from the same narrow pool.
The relaunch of Younite is our commitment to action.
Not just teaching change.
But building structures that make change possible.
Because talent is everywhere.
And together, we can make sure opportunity is too.
This Is Your Invitation to Build Differently
If you are a business leader, HR professional, or founder, the question is no longer whether inclusive hiring is important.
The question is whether you are ready to lead it.
The future workforce is changing. Skills are evolving. Technology is reducing traditional barriers. The organisations that will thrive are those bold enough to redesign opportunity.
Through Younite, Make The Change is building an inclusive employment pathway that connects trained, digitally skilled PWD talents with forward-thinking companies.
We are looking for organisations that are ready to:
Pilot inclusive roles in digital and creative functions
Offer flexible or project-based opportunities
Partner with us to co-design inclusive hiring pathways
Move beyond awareness and into measurable action
If you are serious about building a diverse, future-ready workforce, we invite you to partner with us.
If you are a talent who has been overlooked but not underestimated, we invite you to grow with us.
If you believe business should be a force for good, we invite you to take the next step.
This relaunch is more than a platform update.
It is a shift in how opportunity is designed.
Let’s stop asking whether inclusion is possible.
Let’s start proving that it works.
👉 Companies interested in partnering with Younite can reach out to us to explore pilot collaborations.
👉 Talents interested in joining the Younite community can register their interest for upcoming pathways and programmes.
The future of work should not exclude potential.
Together, we can build a workforce where talent is recognised, opportunity is accessible, and inclusion is intentional.
Now is the time to act.
