Training

Sodexo aims to be a professional development accelerator for all of its employees. This strong determination is a key success factor for the Group and has led to the creation of qualifications training programs in the main countries where Sodexo works, such as France and the United States.

France

Complete training programs - on site and in the restaurant - which allow employees recruited with few qualifications to acquire the skills they need for a given job in Food Services. There are several types of programs:

Service Program
supporting serving staff as they acquire new qualifications.
Cuisine Skills Program
training cooks and future chefs.
Management / Administration Program
offering training to become a Unit Manager.

28,000 hours of qualifications training were given in fiscal year 2003/2004. The objective is to reach 80,000 hours in fiscal year 2004/2005.

United States

The Action Learning Degree offers all of Sodexo USA's employees the opportunity to obtain a diploma in the field in which they work. Programs last around two years and mainly cover management studies. Sodexo is a partner of Revans University - UAL which is Distance Education and Training Council accredited, and recognized by the US Department of Education.

It is possible to obtain the following diplomas:

Associate of Sciences
Bachelor of Sciences
Master of Sciences

All these programs follow a similar format: small working groups are organized, facilitated by coaches, to look at real problems and implement action plans. This approach creates a dynamic learning environment for the individuals, the teams and the training organization. Team building and acquired experience are just as important as solving the original problem.
