Unemployment in Colombia continues to be a problem to which a solution is constantly being sought and despite the fact that unemployment rates, according to the most recent DANE Labor Market Survey, for February marked 12.9% of the national total, compared to at 15.5% for the same period in 2021, the rates are still not the same as they were in the pre-pandemic.
With the economic reactivation that has been taking place gradually at the national level, 96.8% of Colombian companies are already working in person and one of the initiatives to contribute to the increase in personnel is the program that Sodexo, a multinational corporation with a presence in 60 countries, it has carried out and in the one it has today, it has more than 170 places open in 34 cities in Colombia.

Alejandro Scelzi, Country President Sodexo On-site Colombia, comments the following:
“The impact of the pandemic on this generation has been imminent. In addition to the fact that many lost their jobs, it is a reality that others had to leave their studies, truncating the possibilities of accessing a formal job. That is why our contribution from Sodexo for this year in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy is to target the hiring of young people at the regional level with the deployment of our employability program called Talent Generation that seeks to increase our workforce by 10%. in the range of 18 to 30 years.
