out! Adecco Group North America, part of the world's leading
provider of human resource solutions, is offering one individual

leaders through a paid month-long internship.
"We're really excited to kick off the CEO for One Month

one of the very best ways someone can get involved and gain real
life business skills that will help them to stand out in the job

including business assignments, around the country travel, and a
firsthand look at how a Fortune 500 company with over 2,000
employees and 73,000 temporary associates operates."

prepared for the workforce of the future.
"Talent development is essential—particularly for individuals
just starting their careers," said Rich
Thompson, chief human resources officer of Adecco Group
North America. "Professional and work based skills coupled with
education will ensure that students come out of school armed with
the tools and proficiencies that employers are looking for. The CEO
for One Month program is an excellent example of this
approach."
