Costa’s multicultural setting has always been one of the essential
distinguishing features of our business based on hospitality. Promoting
diversity and inclusion in a work environment like ours means
leveraging the power of diversity and fostering talent. In this context
Costa Cruises decided to take part in “
Diversity at Work
”, an annual
meeting organized by
Sodalitas
to facilitate inclusion at work for
people belonging to groups most subject to discrimination such as
those with disabilities, foreigners and transgender people. One of last
year’s “Diversity at Work” events was the
Career Forum
, held in Rome
on November 24 and 25, putting businesses in touch with possible
candidates for employment. Costa Cruises was directly involved in the
various activities supporting the participants, helping them to write their
CVs and prepare for job interviews and actually conducting preliminary
interviews. Following this, in 2016 one of the candidates started an
internship in a position in our Procurement & Supply Chain Department.
