About UNICEF Yutopia Intrapreneur Fellowship Programme

The UNICEF Yutopia Intrapreneur Fellowship Programme is a six-month, workplace-based initiative designed to empower emerging human resources (HR) professionals to strengthen youth engagement, collaborative leadership and intergenerational collaboration within their organisations. 

The programme provides young HR leaders with leadership training, mentorship and practical workplace experience to develop and pilot initiatives that make organisations more responsive to the needs, perspectives and contributions of younger employees. Participating organisations can translate their commitments to youth inclusion into practical, evidence-informed workplace improvements.

The fellowship is particularly relevant to organisations seeking to strengthen their people-management practices, encourage collaboration across generations and create meaningful opportunities for young employees to contribute to organisational development.

  • Sponsor Organisation: UNICEF

Benefits of UNICEF Yutopia Intrapreneur Fellowship Programme

The six-month programme combines structured learning, mentorship and practical application. Its main components include:

  • Leadership training: Fellows participate in three workshops, comprising two in-person sessions and one virtual session. The workshops cover collaborative leadership, consultation practices and the process of translating evidence into action.
  • Mentorship and advisory support: Participants receive check-ins, office hours and troubleshooting support between workshops. This guidance helps fellows navigate workplace challenges and develop feasible initiatives.
  • Participatory workplace consultations: Fellows conduct company-approved consultations to understand young employees’ experiences of existing workplace policies and practices. These consultations inform the design of youth-centred interventions.
  • Initiative development: Fellows work towards creating a pilot-ready programme that strengthens youth engagement and collaboration between different generations within their organisations.
