Major Companies Pledge to Hire 250,000 Refugees Across Europe

Multinational companies including Amazon, Marriott and Hilton pledged to hire more than 13,000 refugees over the next three years in Europe.
More than 40 corporations say they will hire, connect to work or train a total of 250,000 refugees, with 13,680 of them getting jobs directly in those companies.
The hiring push in Europe was organized by the Tent Partnership for Refugees, a nonprofit founded by Chobani CEO Hamdi Ulukaya that connects businesses and refugees.
Amazon leads the pack, vowing to hire at least 5,000 refugees over the next three years in Europe, followed by Marriott and Hilton with 1,500 each, Starbucks and ISS with 1,000 each.
Companies are hoping refugees can fill staffing needs after the economy bounced back from the pandemic.
