  • Willingness to share certain values of the company, including equal opportunities and the recognition of everyone's skills
  • To ensure the continued existence of the employees in the company

APPROACH

API Restauration is committed to putting people at the heart of its approach to recruitment. As a responsible company, API Restauration wants to support people in reintegration by providing them with professional training in connection with the cooking profession. - API Restauration's training center, the INFRES, leads a partnership with Pôle Emploi Nord-Pas de Calais to provide training to job seekers. In 2012-2013, 14 people were trained as "professional kitchen staff" and 12 as "professional restaurant staff". - API is a host company for people in CIF (individual training leave). Thus, four employees from Pimkie Diramode attended a training session and courses as part of their professional retraining.Another example of integration for people in difficulty: the launch in 2012-2013 of a partnership with L'Ilot, a center for people just released from prison (accommodation, training...)
