Maybank GO Ahead. Challenge is an international case competition that challenges your intellect, stretches your creativity & tests your endurance 😀 The challenge welcomes students 👩🏻🎓👨🏻🎓🎓 from all study disciplines & nationalities from across the globe 🌍 & puts you in a series of challenges designed to push the very limits of your potential. Since its inception in 2012, MGAC has impacted more than 1.2 million lives 👫👭👬 Wow‼️😲
This amazing panel session 🗣👥👤👥 was attended by approximately 120 MGAC participants & university representatives 👭👫👬
What has the panel session 🗣👥👤👥discussed❓⁉️
Mainly the topic of #ChallengeOfChoice: Nature Versus Nurture in the employment landscape & how the employers today utilise innovative approaches to attract next-generation talents 👩🏻🎓👨🏻🎓🎓
MGAC is Maybank 🐯🏦’s multi-disciplinary talent recruitment competition which has impacted the lives of over 1.2 million students & graduates 🎓 globally 🗺🌍 since its inception in 2012
Themed Challenge of Choice, MGAC 2019 is redefined through the gamification of the programme, providing talents 👨🏻🎓👩🏻🎓🎓 with a holistic platform to showcase their abilities. It also aims to test the ability of all the challengers’ in making decisions in life 🤗
“We’re always looking for innovative ways to test & shape the future-readiness of the participants 👬👫👭 & #ChallengeOfChoice does that in a holistic manner. The new 🆕 generation of hires are truly an exemplary group who have made such an impact in the workforce as companies across industries are adapting their ways – in balancing ⚖️ between nature & nurture – to attract these talents 👨🏻🎓👩🏻🎓🎓
We’re not just trying to find the best talent 🎓 with MGAC – we’re looking to shape the leaders 👨🏻💼👩🏻💼 of tomorrow. We believe that the true hallmark of a leader is about making the right choices in our everyday lives & how we can make sense of them to continue leading a life with purpose & meaning.” said Madam Nora A Manaf 🧕🏼, the Group Chief Human Capital Officer of Maybank 🐯🏦
MGAC is the 1️⃣st talent recruitment competition to combine multiple disciplines that accentuate character with competence. Also the very 1️⃣st to be gamified now. It is geared to test those who can think outside the box 📦 while skillfully navigating complexities within & at the same time providing a personalised experience for the participants 👭👫👬
“Back then when we looked at hiring a talent🎓, we chose their CVs 📜 with a focus on scaling the company, the fastest way possible. But looking back & learning from the experience, I understand now that choosing candidates 👩🏻🎓👨🏻🎓 who share the same beliefs & values as our brand is a more effective approach to building a solid foundation for a team 👭👬👫
It’s a lot easier to nurture a team 👭👬👫 that shares the same passion for the success 👍🏻 of the brand. The approach that Maybank 🐯🏦has taken with MGAC 2019 gives the new 🆕 age workforce a platform to shine in different aspects & showcasing an all-rounded skill set that would make them a very valuable addition to any team they join,” said Mr Timothy Tiah 👨🏻💼, the founder of Colony
Guess what❓⁉️
MGAC 2019 has been redefined, it goes beyond its limits with a progressive approach through gamification & personalisation. Yes ✅, redefined what student competitions are all about. All participants 👭👫👬 are given free 🆓 reign to sculpt their own experience in this competition with the hashtag #ChallengeOfChoice i.e. from choosing their teammates to the challenges they uptake, yes ✅, adding greater texture & depth to the competition as each decision they make will lead to different consequences & experiences 😃
MGAC 2019 with non-fictional scenario cases, will also implement gamified elements from application stage until the Global Finals. This year, participants 👭👬👫 whose journeys are cut short, will also be given a 2️⃣nd chance at making their way back into the competition with the help of current participants 👭👫👬 ~ aligned with the gamification theme. Encouraging teamwork 🤝 & strategic liaising – MGAC 2019 will have all participants & non-participants 👭👬👫 to play a role in the challenge. It aims to provide an experience that is current, enjoyable & unique for everyone involved 😊
“At the end of the day, hiring based on the natural skills of a candidate 🎓 or nurturing the candidate 🎓 to strive better are both equally important & dependent on the progress of the talents’ career journey. For corporations to grow, especially today with a new 🆕 age workforce coming into the picture ~ they need to adapt & listen to what they want to attract the right people 👍🏻
And that’s what makes Maybank 🐯🏦 different. Maybank 🐯🏦 has listened & identified what the future talents want & provided it through MGAC 2019. It gives the new 🆕 pool of hires 👨🏻🎓👩🏻🎓 a chance to prove themselves beyond just an impressive resume,” added Madam Anabelle Co-Martinent 👩🏻💼, the founder of La Juiceria
