    Lilian Furrer
    Adecco Group

    Accessing the world of work and finding a pathway to fulfill their personal potential is a major challenge for anyone out of – and seeking – work. This is especially so for the 73 million youths under the age of 25, fueling fears of a ‘jobless generation.’ Skills mismatch and a lack of experience, even among the most highly educated, can almost be perceived as a discriminatory barrier to employment, which is central to Global Compact Principle 6. It dashes dreams, wastes human capital, and damages productivity. The Adecco Group – the world’s leading provider of HR solutions – has not stood by idly.  more[...]
