Newrest Chile signs an agreement with Escuela Especial ANADIME

With the Department of Corporate Social Responsibility of Universidad Autónoma, the necessary support has been obtained to give this initiative a run, so that students can do their internships in the institution’s restaurant, administered by Newrest.

The response was positive and largely supportive of this idea, forming a collaborative alliance between the three institutions.

Today, they go to school alone, without their family company, so being in another environment is something very new to them.

These courses began on October 24th, 2017 and until now the adaptation of young people has been very successful: they have been able to integrate into the working world, different from the school environment, and within Newrest teams.

The areas in which the courses are developed are: restaurants and the kitchen area, as young people rotate between sectors to perform different tasks.

Local employees were actively involved in the first phase of this project.

Newrest Chile is proud to be a company whose integration policy was introduced before the entry into force of the Integration Act. The integration of employees with different capacities has already enabled the subsidiary to:
