抜擢 (ばってき) is a formal word for picking someone out of many candidates for an important role — typically a major promotion, a starring part, a leadership post. 抜擢される (passive) describes being on the receiving end of that selection. The 抜 in 抜擢 carries the sense of 'pulling out' (as in pulling someone from the crowd), and the word frequently appears in business and entertainment news — '抜擢される' is what gets reported when a young actor lands a major role or a promising employee leapfrogs senior colleagues.
