Charlotte George is a certified career coach, mentor, and thought leader in employability and lifelong learning, with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including youths, mid-career switchers, and senior professionals. Trained by Workforce Singapore (WSG) and the National Career Development Association (NCDA) (USA), she brings deep expertise in designing and delivering outcome-driven, competency-based training and development programmes.
Charlotte played a pivotal role in shaping the early foundation of Singapore’s national career development infrastructure. As one of the pioneer practitioners during the Workforce Development Agency (WDA) era, she contributed to the establishment of career centres, the professionalisation of career services, and the development of national frameworks for career guidance—setting the stage for the robust ecosystem Singapore has today.
Currently, she serves as President of the People & Career Development Association (PCDA), where she leads national and regional initiatives to elevate career development practice. She is the architect of the PCDA Transformational Skills Framework for Career Development and the Mentor & Mentee Development Framework—both of which are used by practitioners and institutions to improve individual growth, mentoring quality, and employability outcomes. At Kaplan Singapore, Charlotte leads strategic employability and student development initiatives, collaborating with corporate partners, industry associations, and public agencies to bridge education and the future of work. Her work includes employer engagement, industry advisory boards, student capability-building, and national career fairs. She also serves as an Adjunct Lecturer at the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), where she supports adult learners in career development and personal mastery.
Charlotte remains actively involved in community and regional efforts. She volunteers with the Catholic Leadership Centre (CLC), contributes to the Asia Pacific Career Development Association (APCDA), and has held multiple leadership roles at the Church of St Anthony. She also leads wellness and resilience workshops to support student wellbeing as part of her commitment to holistic development. A proud mother to two daughters and a son-in-law, Charlotte finds joy in quiet moments with her cocker spaniel, Cheddar, and believes that coffee and chocolate are essential tools for reflection and resilience. Her ongoing work continues to shape national conversations around employability, mentorship, and transformative lifelong learning.
