"According to the latest Eurostat data, the pandemic is causing a sharp rise in youth unemployment, with more than 3 million young people out of work across Europe. Nestlé wants to do its part and is committed between now and 2025 to offer 1450 direct and 1400 internships in Italy, which become 40,000 new opportunities if we consider Europe, the Middle East and North Africa ".
This is the announcement of the multinational that "this year too - he writes in a note - has continued with its commitment to concretely support young people, hiring more than 180 young people under 30, activating 80 internships in the various Group offices launching collaboration programs with startups and young entrepreneurs.
“We at Nestlé have long been committed to providing opportunities for girls and boys through hiring, internships, training and career guidance.
Never as this year, however, we have learned how much young people can play an important role in the new challenges that await us "- commented Marco Travaglia, President and CEO of the Nestlé Group Italy and Malta -" The pandemic has had and continues to have a strong impact on our lives, forcing us to radically change the way we work and operate in society.
In this new scenario, young people must be protagonists.
For this reason, as the Nestlé Group we are determined to offer the necessary support to help avoid a "generation lockdown" and foster their development and initiatives. "
Nestlé's youth support programs revolve around the Nestlé Needs YOUth project, launched in 2013, which was the first education and training program launched by a company globally with the aim of tackling youth unemployment and providing access to economic opportunities for 10 million young people around the world by 2030. The initiative is based on four pillars: direct placements in the company, internships and traineeships, training and career guidance activities and the involvement of companies in the Alliance4YOUth project, by of which Nestlé is a founding member and which so far, at European level, has offered 450,000 jobs or training experiences, of which about 22,000 thanks to Nestlé.
