With youth unemployment in Australia continuing to skyrocket and one in five teenagers struggling to find a job, Adecco is undertaking a large-scale program designed to get young people into work, here and around the world.

CQUniversity Mackay students got involved in the launch and were able to find out more about Adecco's services.

They were also reminded about CQUniversity's Careers and Employment Service, which assists future and current students and employers in the region. For more information, visit http://www.cqu.edu.au/study/useful-info/careers
