The Women’s Academy of Compass Group Spain starts this week in Tenerife. For 14 months, three women will be able to train to progress at a professional level with a project that adapts to their family life.
This initiative was born after detecting that one of the training barriers for the workers of the collective catering company is the conciliation between personal and professional life. To help them, they are offered learning totally adapted to them. There will be 350 hours of teaching, 80 of them practical in the central kitchen that the company has in Tenerife. In addition, they have the support of Scolarest staff, the company’s brand in the educational sector, to take care of their children during these sessions.
Work is being done so that the course is validated by a prestigious university and that, at the end, the participants receive the title that certifies the training and certifies their promotion in category from assistants to kitchen assistants.
The presentation ceremony, in the Kitchen of Tenerife, was attended, in addition to the three students, by the Group’s Human Resources Director, Diego Charola; Jannette Socas Abreu, president of the Tenerife Works Council and member of the Equality Commission; Rosana González, manager of Labor Relations and Carolina Salas, area manager of the Island. Women’s Academy launches to develop a pilot project that will be extended in future courses to other areas of the country. Compass Group Spain thus reinforces its commitment to the Canary Islands and Tenerife. The company has a workforce on the islands of 480 people and 76% are women.
