Additionally, we will be holding our official “Careerathon” at Palomar College in San Diego, California. Career professionals will be on hand to offer free, one-on-one job hunting and career advice to the students and general public of the city of San Diego. We’re very excited that Joyce Russell, Executive Vice President & President of Adecco Staffing, and members of the Adecco leadership team will be on hand to personally meet with participants. Oh, and we’ve also heard rumors of there being free waffles served! But you’ll have to come to Palomar College to find out.
We’ll be covering the event throughout the day on our Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and Vine using the hashtag #WaytoWork. Make sure to follow and share our updates!
Announcing the Adecco Experience
In order the help you kick-start your career, we’re also announcing our Adecco Experience Program. At Adecco, we believe that the right to work is universal and that young people must be better equipped with the right hard and soft skills that today’s businesses and hiring managers are demanding. And an internship is a great way to gain those skills.
So beginning today, April 30th — as part of Way to Work – we are launching a contest called “Adecco Experience” across all 50 countries. This contest — geared toward high school/college students and graduates — will reward four applicants from each country with truly dynamic internship opportunities. The winners of this contest will be given top-notch internships, working for a month with Adecco’s clients and partners. Each winner will have a job in their respective country and no traveling will be required. On top of that, Adecco will provide the winners with competitive internship pay. It will be enriching and valuable for future career development, and a great way to experience the first taste of the exciting world of work.
But that’s not all! One lucky winner will be selected for the CEO for one month internship, and will work in direct contact and under direct supervision of Adecco Group CEO Patrick De Maeseneire.
But this isn’t just a simple “check this box to enter” contest…
On the Way to Work “Adecco Experience” website we will be asking applicants to complete an online profile and prepare a short video of themselves. The deadline to apply is May 31st. All applications will be thoroughly reviewed, and the U.S. winners will be revealed to the public on June 20th.
