Coca‑Cola Europacific Partners Australia launches MD‑for‑a‑Day accelerator for youth

Coca‑Cola Europacific Partners Australia (CCEP) and youth‑career platform Anyway have announced the “MD for a Day” Accelerator, offering one school‑leaver the chance to spend a day at CCEP’s North Sydney headquarters shadowing Managing Director Orlando Rodriguez and the Australian leadership team.

The initiative builds on the Be Influential Academy, which has reached more than 31,000 young Australians, with 75 % reporting a better understanding of influence at work. Participants must complete CCEP learning modules on the Anyway platform. Scott Edwards, Associate Director of Sustainability at CCEP, and Will Stubley, co‑founder of Anyway, say the program aims to provide practical exposure to leadership, operations, sustainability, supply‑chain and packaging innovation.
