PASSIONATE ABOUT CAREER GUIDANCE: Lucille Maartens-Folker of Talent Window Africa reflects on career development in emerging markets and is calling for a realignment of traditional outlooks on development, talent management and the importance of providing youth direct and focussed exposure to the ‘world of work’.

Hilton, # # March 2017 -- The complexity, volatility and unpredictability of emerging markets, along with other market dynamics, are forcing Institutions of learning to critically reflect on new approaches to development, education and talent management.
There is an urgent need for a new generation of leaders with complex and adaptive thinking skills, and individuals who can unlock growth in creative ways. Importantly, leadership which unlocks growth and innovation must also be mindful of social, ethical and environmental justice.
The speed of growth in emerging markets often renders our traditional development models redundant. New approaches to leadership development are required. The importance of exposing our youth to business sectors, allowing them to explore them and actively engage, has never been more important.
Increasingly, leading employers are seeking graduates displaying specific qualities: Action-oriented, Informed ,Ambitious, Autonomous, Display Leadership, Cultural Fit, Upbeat, Confident, Successful, Honest, Detail Oriented, Modest, Hardworking, Marketable, Passionate, ‘Trainable’.
Lucille’s professional network, spanning across South Africa and Africa includes, Subject Matter Experts at several SA and UK based Universities, Psychologists, Economists and Business Excellence Professionals, to name a few. Talent Window Africa provides youth direct access to ‘the world of work’ through a range of bespoke career guidance services, supported by a wide range of Associates and Professionals.
