Randstad, the world's largest staffing company, announced its renewed commitment on Monday to enhance the employment opportunities for tens of thousands of refugees.
In the next three years, the Dutch recruitment firm aims to train 10,000 refugees and facilitate job placements for an additional 40,000 individuals, as stated in a company press release.
Randstad proudly revealed that it had already achieved its target of supporting the work lives of 20,000 refugees, originally set for the period between 2022 and 2024.
"A job is key to unlocking dignity, economic security, and a vastly improved future for refugees and their families in new countries," stated Gideon Maltz, Chief Executive Officer of the Tent Partnership for Refugees.
Despite a recent slowdown in hiring by companies, Randstad reported better-than-expected first-quarter core earnings two months ago.
Randstad's commitment to helping refugees find employment highlights the crucial role of providing economic opportunities for displaced individuals. By investing in training and job placements, the company aims to empower refugees and contribute to their successful integration into new communities.
