The Skilly Award 2024 is in the starting blocks - apply now!
We are awarding our Skilly Award for the fifth time. The award recognizes development initiatives and success stories from individuals, teams and banks that are committed to employability and competence development and have a special story to tell.
The philosophy behind Skilly Award:
The rewarding of the individual projects is not about comparing performance. Instead, the aim is to highlight the people and organizations as well as the successes and hurdles overcome behind the labor-intensive and time-consuming projects. For this reason, the final selection will be made by drawing lots to decide the winners of the individual categories. It goes without saying that the applications submitted will be pre-selected on the basis of the criteria listed below. The award is completely independent of participation in skillaware self-reflection or the holding of an orientation interview.
How does the nomination process work and what are the formal criteria?
We look forward to receiving your success stories and projects and ask you to consider the following formal criteria:
