Marriott to hire 3,000 refugees by 2026
Marriott International has made a pledge to hire around 3,000 refugees by 2026.
It made the announcement as it marked World Refugee Day.
The company will take on 1,500 refugees throughout Europe within the next three years.
It follows Marriott’s commitment to recruit over 1,500 refugees by 2025 in the United States.
Marriott CEO Anthony Capuano announced the initiative during the Tent Partnership for Refugees European Business Summit this week.
“Our focus on creating job opportunities has already led to over 970 refugees hired across dozens of our hotels in the European region,” he said.
Some Marriott hotels are providing recently resettled refugee employees with resources like on-site translators, prayer rooms, and assistance with navigating public transport.
Marriott launched a careers site listing opportunities for refugees looking to apply for positions in the US.
Since 2016, Marriott’s support has helped the International Rescue Committee train almost 1,000 refugees in the US in hospitality and workforce skills.
This year, Marriott is supporting IRC’s Hospitality Link program in Tucson, AZ, and Denver, CO.
