The platform is being launched as part of Compass’ Mission to a Million commitment, which will provide support to one million people by 2030. Working with a range of partner organisations, the platform will match candidates with job opportunities and internships available at Compass.
The career hub will help to provide support for people struggling to access work, ensuring that the hiring process is inclusive and caters to the needs of each applicant. To celebrate the launch of the Social Partner Hub, Compass hosted an event at the Imperial War Museum in London with existing and potential charity partners to talk about the upcoming opportunities.
Amanda Scott, talent, learning and diversity & inclusion director at Compass Group UK & Ireland said: “We’re delighted to be launching the Social Partners Hub to provide opportunities to disadvantaged people struggling to access employment. At Compass, we are incredibly proud that we offer the first rung on the career ladder to these people regardless of their background.
“As part of our Mission to a Million, we want to be a force for good and a real driver of social mobility in the UK. We look forward to working in collaboration with our partners to achieve our shared goals of equal opportunity and access to employment.”
