Current Students

U21 PwC Innovation Challenge now open

 

Student in classroom 714x249

Showcase your critical thinking and share your ideas with PwC and their clients to win a 7-day trip to Dubai and some exclusive world-class training and professional development opportunities.

This online competition challenges postgraduate students to respond to contemporary, globally-important work-related issues via a three-minute video. It’s an opportunity to apply your knowledge to ‘real-world’ situations, and reflect on your own experiences while improving your communication skills.

PwC have developed a Workforce of the Future study  to consider how automation and 'thinking machines' will change the skills that organisations are looking for in their people.

But what will the future look like? You are invited to consider the following challenge and propose a response.

Assuming you find yourself on a journey that looks like it ends in a 'Blue World' scenario where Corporate is King, what are the pros and cons for you? What skills will be important for individuals to thrive in this world, and how do you plan on adapting to it?

Submit your entry via Moodle before midnight on Sunday 10 February.

The shortlisted videos will be judged by PwC and their clients, who are leaders in graduate career development. Up to three candidates will be invited to represent the University of Nottingham in the Group C final.

Humberto Jimenez Martinez, winner of the Group A round has written a report on his 'trip of a lifetime' PwC experience in Dubai.
