Swiss food company Nestlé announced that it is to create 150 jobs for young people in Poland by the end of 2015. This is a part of the ‘Nestlé needs YOUth’ programme launched in Europe in 2013; the initiative aims to provide employment opportunities for 20,000 young people across Europe. The sources report that half of the candidates will be employed and for the rest the company will offer vocational trainings and apprenticeships/traineeships.
