ISS To Employ 1,000 Refugees in North America
As part of a collaboration with Tent Partnership for Refugees, ISS has committed to hiring at least 1,000 refugees across its North America business by the end of 2025....
Read Full ArticleSeveral businesses, including FM company ISS, are pledging to provide jobs and training to more than 250,000 refugees across Europe over the next three years.
At an announcement at Tent Partnership for Refugee’s European Business Summit in Paris, ISS confirmed it would hire 1,000 refugees, including Ukrainian women, across its European business over the next three years.
ISS will provide training, upskilling and development opportunities to the refugees.
Amazon, Marriott International and Microsoft have also joined the pledge, collectively marking the most significant set of business commitments ever made to advance the economic integration of refugees.
Last year, with Tent, ISS committed to hire 1,000 refugees in North America by 2025. ISS also signed up to Tent’s Sunflower Project, committing to hire, train and mentor Ukrainian refugees in Poland and Spain. During the past year, ISS has hired more than 550 refugees in Europe alone.
Hamdi Ulukaya, Founder and President of the Tent Partnership for Refugees and CEO and founder of Chobani, said:
“Ukrainian refugee women face many hurdles when finding jobs - from not knowing the local language to having to juggle childcare responsibilities. Businesses must do more to reduce these barriers, and help these incredible, strong, talented people enter the workforce.
‘The moment a refugee gets a job is the moment they stop being a refugee. I’m so proud that the companies stepping up today, including ISS, will help Ukrainian women and other refugees across Europe stand on their own two feet, giving them a chance to live lives of dignity.”
