Nestlé needs YOUth

Submitted by Nestlé

Objective

To prepare people under age 30 across Europe to enter the professional world.

Overview and Main Activities

To offer 20,000 job opportunities for young people across Europe by 2016, Nestlé created the “Nestlé needs YOUth” initiative, which rests on four main pillars:

  • Direct Hire: Offering jobs to 10,000 new recruits under the age of 30 across all functions, including manufacturing, administration, human resources, sales, marketing, finance, engineering and R&D.
  • Get Skilled: Strengthening existing apprenticeship and traineeship programmes to offer 10,000 of them over the scheduled three-year period by disseminating best practices across various countries. Apprenticeship schemes may not necessarily exist across all countries and more specialized training may be needed in Slovakia and Portugal, for example.
  • Get Support: Deploying readiness for work activities mobilizing our employees and managers to help young people be better prepared for entering professional life or easing their school-to-work transition.
  • Get more Opportunities: Through Alliance for YOUth, Nestlé encourages business partners to join the initiative by offering a job, apprenticeship or traineeship to young people. The objective is to mobilize a wider segment of the industry’s value chain. All Alliance for YOUth partners have agreed to sign the pledge of the European Alliance for Apprenticeship, a project promoting apprenticeship schemes and initiatives across Europe.

Nestlé partners with various national and subnational authorities to offer these programmes.

Success Factors and Challenges

Most critical success factors:

  • Coherence of approach and alignment with company values, including awareness of the importance of private sector
  • Legitimacy of Nestlé in youth employment
  • Centralized execution
  • Engagement with policymakers
  • Mobilization of Nestlé employees

Main challenges:

  • Culture and mindset
  • Developing clarity in objectives and the expectations, regarding communication and execution across the organization
  • Local administrative capacity and support

Recommendations for Others

Nestlé needs YOUth is in alignment with Nestlé’s strategic approach in Europe, as well as the company’s values and practices. This coherence is essential to ensure proper credibility and traction.

Replicability and Scalability

How easily could other organizations implement this initiative?
Difficult: Difficulty lies in the communication and execution across the organization.

How easily can this initiative be expanded to include a larger number of participants?
Easy: Once the programme is in place, it can be easily leveraged to reach a vast number of participants.
