“In a world where
the future of work is
evolving faster than
it has ever before,
acquiring leadingedge skills remains the
only currency that will
differentiate talent in an
increasingly competitive
labour market.
Corporates endeavour
to source the best talent
possible, both for their
skills and leadership.”
