Nestlé plans to help at least 20,000 people across Europe under the age of 30 find employment over the next three years, the company announced.
The “Nestlé in Europe” Youth Employment Initiative will offer jobs and create thousands of apprentice positions and traineeships by 2016.
As part of the new initiative, further details of which will be announced in September, Nestlé will also encourage its European suppliers to offer a job, apprenticeship or traineeship to young people.
Roles on offer as part of the initiative will be across all the different business areas and at all levels within the company – from operators on the factory floor to sales assistants and business management, said Nestlé.
Young people with vocational skills and training are a particular focus of the initiative, as are graduates seeking their first position after university.
“Governments alone cannot resolve the problem of youth unemployment in Europe – companies must play their part,” said Laurent Freixe, Nestlé executive VP and zone director for Europe.
