Our collaboration with cosm: creating opportunities through work

14.09.2026

For many people, access to employment means far more than simply signing a contract. It represents a chance to start over, embrace new opportunities, and begin a new chapter in life, especially for those facing social disadvantage or vulnerable circumstances. This shared vision is what inspired our collaboration with COSM, a consortium of social cooperatives operating in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. The initiative was made possible through resources provided by a regional co-design programme focused on social and labour inclusion and restorative justice. 
 
Promoting an inclusive economy that puts people first and supports the reintegration of individuals facing challenging situations lies at the heart of COSM’s mission. From the very beginning, we recognised our own values in this approach, and together we have developed practical pathways designed to help individuals realise their potential within our services.

From Training to employment  
Our partnership has taken shape through a series of training placements integrated into our operational teams in the cleaning and food services. From day one, we have been committed to providing all the essential elements needed to ensure a safe and well-structured experience, including health and safety training, personal protective equipment, and medical assessments. 
 
Each placement has been designed to offer continuous support and hands-on learning opportunities, enabling participants to develop practical skills while laying the foundations for long-term employment. This goal has been successfully achieved, with several participants securing jobs at the end of their training journey as a result of their commitment and dedication.

Investing in People 
Throughout the activities carried out in partnership with COSM, our teams are committed every day to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment, free from prejudice related to personal backgrounds and experiences. The focus is placed solely on each individual’s professionalism, skills, and determination demonstrated in the workplace. By offering trust and creating the right conditions for people to succeed, we help them build new capabilities and regain confidence in their own potential. 
 
This collaboration with COSM once again reinforces a belief that is central to our way of working: when businesses and third-sector organisations join forces, they can create meaningful opportunities for those seeking a fresh start, recognise and nurture individual talent, and support people as they build a more stable future.
