Some fresh graduates are landing jobs within weeks of finishing university. Others are sending out hundreds of applications, making it through multiple interviews, and still coming up empty-handed.

So why are their experiences so different?

Despite there being enough entry-level jobs to absorb new graduates, many of those opportunities aren't in the industries young people aspire to join. At the same time, employers are becoming more selective, salary expectations are shifting, and AI is changing how candidates are screened and hired.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Adrian Choo, the Career strategist and CEO and Founder of Career Agility International, to find out more.

AI chatbots are answering our questions, writing our emails, and helping us make decisions, but how much do we really know about them?

Singapore has launched new 'nutrition label' guidelines for AI chatbots, encouraging companies to be upfront about their capabilities, risks, and data practices.

Could these labels change how much we trust AI? Will companies voluntarily be transparent? And is this just the first step towards stricter AI regulation?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with  Dr Steve Kerrison, Senior Lecturer in Cybersecurity at James Cook University, Singapore Campus, to find out more.

The Johor Bahru-Singapore RTS Link is still months away from launching, but it's already raising big questions for businesses on both sides of the Causeway. A new study estimates Singaporeans could spend more than S$1 billion extra in Johor Bahru every year once the rail link opens in 2027, with spending flowing out of Singapore expected to far exceed what Malaysian visitors spend here.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Terence Fan, Assistant Professor of Strategic Management & Entrepreneurship at Singapore Management University, to find out more.
