Nestlé leads Choose Hospitality Pledge scheme
An industry alliance spearheaded by Nestlé Professional has asked hospitality ambassadors to step forward to help promote the industry to young people. The Choose Hospitality Pledge includes Sodexo, Elior, Choose Hospitality, Springboard and a growing number of hospitality and industry leaders.
Partners were brought together by Nestlé Professional following its research revealing that young people have negative perceptions of the sector. To address this, the alliance is mobilising a team of hospitality ambassadors tasked with visiting secondary schools across the UK to give young people an inspiring and comprehensive picture of the hospitality sector.
Katya Simmons, managing director of Nestlé Professional UK&I, said: “Given the severity of current recruitment challenges, it’s important that we act now. The Choose Hospitality Pledge is all about galvanising up-and-coming hospitality superstars, helping us to get young people excited about our industry again, and showcasing hospitality as a stimulating, flexible and incredibly rewarding career.”
