Leading Workforce Solutions Provider Launches Fourth Global Edition of "CEO for One Month" Program
The world's leading workforce solutions provider, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, has announced the launch of the fourth global edition of its "CEO for One Month" program. This initiative aims to provide young people with a unique opportunity to gain firsthand leadership experience and insights into workforce management challenges.
With over 33,000 FTE employees and approximately 5,100 branches in 60 countries and territories, the group partners with employers, candidates, colleagues, and governments to share labor market expertise and insights. The program received over 54,000 applications in 2016, demonstrating its popularity and impact.
The "CEO for One Month" program is part of the worldwide Way to Work™ program, which the group launched in 2013 to tackle youth unemployment and skills shortages. The program offers 49 opportunities for candidates from around the world to shadow the group's leadership for a month.
During their placement, the selected 'CEOs for One Month' will work alongside the group's CEO, Alain Dehaze, and receive further guidance and professional opportunities from the group following their one-month placement. Candidates can apply via the Way to Work website.
The program is designed to help young people build critical skills that align with employer needs, bridging the gap between education and workforce demands. Participants gain confidence, improve their professional capabilities, and become better equipped to fill roles that are currently underserved due to skills shortages.
By cultivating a talent pipeline with leadership skills that meet future workforce requirements, the program also benefits businesses. The group provides career opportunities to approximately 700,000 people around the world each year, offering services such as temporary staffing, permanent placement, career transition, talent development, outsourcing, and consulting.
The group, a Fortune Global 500 company and listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (ADEN), has a mission to transform the world of work through talent and technology, and to boost prosperity through the power of work.
