Leading provider of HR solutions scouts for talent at Careers UAE 2016

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Building on the past success of the company's CEO for One Month programme, worldwide staffing services firm, Adecco, has launched its search for candidates to fill the latest edition of the innovative internship programme. Though the company has received thousands of applications for the programme, only 50 will be chosen to work alongside senior management in Adecco's regional headquarters around the world, and just one talented young professional will be chosen to serve as Adecco's global CEO for a period of four weeks under the tutelage of current CEO Alain Dehaze.

The days of interns making copies and fetching coffee seem to be on their way out, as more companies strive to create well-rounded, meaningful intern experiences. With thousands of UAE nationals slated to graduate and enter the workforce in 2016, young pre-professionals are set to flood the halls of Careers UAE 2016 in search of companies such as Adecco that are willing to support career development in its nascence.

The CEO for One Month internship programme, along with Adecco's Way to Work Internship programme, is aimed at providing recent graduates with hands-on experience and real-world insight into the management and daily operations of a Fortune 500 company. Accepted candidates will gain unparalleled career experience. Additionally, the top performing applicant selected to serve as CEO for One Month at Adecco global headquarters will be remunerated with highly competitive salary.

Although the application window for potential candidates has closed in the US and Europe, there is still time for UAE hopefuls to put forth their CVs. Adecco is showcasing at this year's Careers UAE 2016, held 16-18 May at Dubai World Trade Centre, hoping to attract young graduates and professionals to add to their cadre of interns.

In addition to Adecco, companies from around the region are offering unique opportunities at Careers UAE 2016, hunting for graduates and young professionals alike to participate in internships and junior professional programmes. Top employers such as Emirates Group, DP World, Al-Futtaim and National Bank of Abu Dhabi, as well as human resources solutions providers such as Bayt.com and InternsME, are all present and keenly focused on recruiting young talent at Careers UAE. Last year the event drew 18,775 visitors, with the 2016 edition set to welcome more fresh talent.
