Nestlé’s ambition is to help 10 million young people around the world have access to economic opportunities by 2030.

Nestlé’s global youth initiative will focus on 3 streams: 1) Employment and employability through our Get Hired, Get Skilled (vocational training), Get Support and Get more opportunities activities. 2) Agripreneurship: supporting and assisting women and young farmers to improve the economic returns from their crops and become leaders in agriculture. 3) Entrepreneurship: identifying and nurturing business talent in young people. We want to help equip the next generation for employment, to become creative frontrunners in our company, successful agripreneurs, entrepreneurs and game changers regardless of their field or level of expertise. It will help build thriving, resilient communities and supports the UN sustainable development goals. It helps boost our business too, because young people drive internal change in a company, keeping it dynamic and competitive. They are the farmers who will grow the raw materials that we need to make our products. They are the entrepreneurs who will help us reach out to new markets and consumers. They are the innovators who will find the solutions to the business challenge of the future. This is why we are expanding the scope of the Nestlé needs Youth initiative that started in 2013 to encompass our entire value chain, from the sourcing of raw materials to the manufacturing and distribution of our products.
