Specialist HR body the Public Sector People Managers’ Associations (PPMA) is to launch an Apprentice-style competition to identify and boost the next generation of people leaders in the public sector.
Rising Stars 2013 opens on Monday (10 December) to anyone working in HR and is free for individuals in PPMA-member organisations.
The competition, sponsored by recruiter Manpower, involves a series of tasks in which candidates undertake and write up an original piece of research, then attend an event in Warwick this February.
Leatham Green, the PPMA’s policy lead for wellbeing and job creation and assistant director of HR for East Sussex County Council, says that attracting and nurturing the best talent at an early stage of their career remains one of the “biggest challenges” for public sector HR.
“The entry level of talent needs to be better – once we have the best talent we need to be more proactive in nurturing and developing that talent and creating opportunities for development. The PPMA is seeking to pool resources to make this happen.”
