Sodexo has teamed up with Youth Employment UK to launch an early careers hub.
Explore at Sodexo is a designated employer profile accessed through the Youth Employment UK website that showcases early careers at the organisation. Young people can read and watch inspiring profiles of current Sodexo apprentices, as well as explore apprenticeship academies, T Level opportunities, and work experience programmes at Sodexo sites throughout the UK.
Youth Employment UK, an independent, not-for-profit social enterprise founded in 2012 to tackle youth unemployment, will assist Sodexo in connecting with young people who are looking to work for a youth-friendly employer and discover education and training opportunities.
Sodexo offers a wide variety of apprenticeships, with over 70 available in areas such as IT and business administration, facilities management, hospitality and catering, healthcare and HR. In July 2022, Sodexo was named one of the top 100 apprenticeship employers in the UK by the Department for Education.
Clare Johnson, Early Careers Lead at Sodexo UK & Ireland, said: “We take great pride in nurturing talent, and we want to make sure that we have a solid pipeline of young individuals throughout our organisation who can start their careers here and achieve great things. We offer a wide range of opportunities, so we are excited to showcase this on Explore at Sodexo with the help of Youth Employment UK.”
Youth Employment UK is committed to its principles of Good Youth Employment which focus on creating opportunity, recognising talent, ensuring fair employment, and providing world-class people development. The organisation uses its network to reach 4500 schools, colleges and career leaders, and young people across the country.
Laura-Jane Rawlings, CEO of Youth Employment UK, commented: “Youth Employment is delighted to add Sodexo to our Youth-Friendly Community. We look forward to working together to connect more young people to good quality opportunities to explore work. If we are to stamp out youth unemployment and close the skills gap, we must support young people in embracing opportunities for work experience and encourage employers to offer such possibilities.”
FMJ in conjunction with Grundon Waste Management is pleased to launch the 2023 waste management and recycling survey which examines the ways in which FMs approach their waste management responsibilities.
In this, the sixth year for the annual appraisal, we know there is a greater opportunity than ever for FMs to reappraise their waste and recycling operations and help their organisations meet the growing pressure to achieve ESG goals.
We want to learn how FMs have adapted to the legislative, economic and societal changes of the past year and how they plan to meet the latest waste and recycling targets.
In this survey we’ve posed a series of questions which include insights into FMs’ waste management strategy and targets, how they’re moving towards zero waste targets, and the importance of not just meeting compliance targets but also ESG goals.
The results of the 2023 survey will be published in FMJ magazine and form the basis of a white paper co-written by FMJ and the experts at Grundon on how to approach waste and recycling strategies.
