Description
Costa Carnival, a world-wide cruise line group, is to hire 4,500 workers, to be based in Italy.
The group is the largest operator in the cruise sector in the country and is about to extends its fleet by 10 vessels over the next five years.
New hirings will be gradually implemented as new ships are built and enter service. They will be shared between Costa Carnival and one of its largest subsidiaries, Costa Crociere, which itself implemented a large recruitment campaign in 2014 (see Costa CrociereIT-2014).
Most jobs will be in hotel and restaurant related occupations but will include also other profiles, including deck and engine staff and ground personnel.
