Coming soon: Alliance for YOUth live webcast debate
What does the future hold for the young and unemployed in Europe? This is the question that business leaders, politicians, and 20 young people will debate in a live webcast, hosted at the Nestlé headquarters on Thursday 18 September starting at 1030 CET.
The event follows the launch of the Nestlé Needs YOUth initiative in November 2013, when the company committed to create 20,000 employment opportunities for young people under 30 in Europe by 2016.
Now, 200 companies have joined Nestlé to build on this as part of an Alliance for Youth, which will offer even more opportunities to young people on the continent.
The founding members of the Alliance for Youth are: Adecco, AXA, Cargill, Chep, DS Smith, EY, Facebook, Firmenich, Google, Nielsen, Publicis, Salesforce.com, Twitter and White & Case.
You can ask questions by email questions@nestle.com (please state your name and country) and join the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #ALLiance4YOUth.
