Coca-Cola European Partners has celebrated 'Speed ​​Dating', a session in which 85 volunteer employees and 85 young people from Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Bilbao and Seville, participants in the GIRA Young program, have met to simulate a "quick" job interview, in which, in a maximum of five minutes, they have had to present their professional profile.

The 85 young Spaniards have had the opportunity to receive feedback and detailed recommendations from the professionals of Coca-Cola European Partners, in a day in which seven members of the company's Steering Committee have also participated, in order that can improve their presentations when facing a labor selection process.

"With events like this, Coca-Cola European Partners responds to two objectives. On the one hand, the company's professionals carry out corporate volunteer work and, on the other hand, we support young people enrolled in GIRA Jóvenes," explains Marta Sempere, Vice President of Human Resources of Coca-Cola European Partners Iberia.

"This action reinforces our work in 'Avanzamos', the sustainability strategy designed jointly with The Coca-Cola Company for 13 Western European countries. We are an agent of positive change that promotes the inclusion and economic development of society, both with our employees and in the societies where we operate," adds Ana Callol, Vice President of Public Affairs and Communications of Coca-Cola European Partners Iberia.

GIRA Jóvenes is a personal and professional training program that was born in 2012 with the aim of bringing the world of work closer to young people with fewer opportunities and school failure. Since then, he has provided training and mentoring to 4,246 young people. 73% of the participants of the 2018 edition have resumed their studies, 89% have improved their employability and 27% have found employment.
