🌏 This International Youth Day, we celebrate the potential of young people and reaffirm our commitment to helping them succeed in the future of work.
🚀 At ManpowerGroup, we believe that investing in young people is investing in the future. That's why we're committed to helping the next generation build the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to thrive through work readiness programs, mentorship, skills development, and meaningful pathways to employment.
🤝 As part of this commitment, we are proud to announce the appointment of François Lançon, Regional President, Asia Pacific & Middle East, ManpowerGroup, to the JA Asia Pacific Board. This new role strengthens our longstanding partnership with JA Worldwide and our shared mission to empower young people with the skills, entrepreneurial mindset, and learnability needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving world of work.
💡 We are honored by the welcome from Vivek Kumar, President & Chief Executive Officer, JA Asia Pacific, who highlighted the impact that can be achieved when business, education, and government leaders come together to help bridge the gap between classrooms and workplaces and prepare more young people for success in an AI-enabled economy.
✨ Together, we look forward to creating even more opportunities for young people across the region to unlock their potential and become the leaders, innovators, and changemakers of tomorrow.
Happy International Youth Day.
