  In this note, we characterize when the Vietoris space of compact subsets of a
given space has the Hurewicz property in terms of a selection principle on the
given space itself using $k$-covers and the notion of groupability introduced
by Ko\v{c}inac and Scheepers. We comment that the same technique establishes
another equivalent condition to a space being Hurewicz in each of its finite
powers. We end with some characterizations involving spaces of continuous
functions and answer a question posed by Ko\v{c}inac.
