ManpowerGroup ‘Ready for Work’ Award
|
The ManpowerGroup ‘Ready for Work’ Award recognizes those teams that have best built work readiness skills during the competition.
The winning team will display ability, likeability and drive, all of which are integral to learnability, and their project should nurture and inspire these qualities in others.

Learnability
As new skill requirements emerge and grow in demand, it’s inevitable that others will become extinct. Consequently, there’s a growing awareness that individuals who seek learning opportunities will be more employable in the long-term…
Learnability is less about what you already know, and more about your capacity to learn. It’s about recognising that you’ll face new challenges throughout your working life, so it’s critical that you grow your skill set and adapt to new circumstances. In short, it’s a way for workers to “future proof” themselves – no matter who their employer may be and what their future work life holds. And be employable along their career
