Paris Baguette signs deal to offer job opportunities in
New York City By Kim Jae-heun, The Korea Times - Paris
Baguette signed an agreement with New York City and the American Chamber of
Commerce in Korea (AMCHAM), Wednesday (local time), to stimulate economic
growth through internships for New Yorkers and support minority- and
women-owned business enterprises, the bakery chain operator SPC said Friday.
Central to the initiative is
an immersive, six-week internship training program at Paris Baguette, where
interns will receive hands-on training and classroom instruction on food
preparation in either baking or cake decoration. The internship will conclude
with consideration for job placements and opportunities for continued career
development.
"At Paris Baguette, we're
proud of our standing as a pillar of business and the community in the
neighborhoods we serve. Through this partnership with New York City and the
AMCHAM to support women and minorities, we're furthering our commitment to
creating opportunities that strengthen our economy and support future business
leaders," SPC Group President Hur Jin-soo said during a ceremony for the
agreement held in New York.
The partnership will also
support the growth of firms from the city's diverse pool of minority- and
women-owned business enterprises by introducing them to AMCHAM and providing
opportunities to do business with international firms.
Paris Baguette has committed
to donating food for economically disadvantaged communities, to be distributed
across the entire city.
"New York is a big city
of small businesses, and we want to make sure we are supporting everyone who
wants to invest in our city, including our international companies," New
York City Mayor Eric Adams said. "This agreement with Paris Baguette will
help create jobs and opportunity throughout the five boroughs, support the
creation of youth internships that will build career skills and job readiness
and develop a food donation program for New Yorkers in need across our city."
"I strongly believe that
this signing ceremony is a symbol of the incredible synergy between the U.S.
and Korea, a true win-win-win partnership and picture-perfect scenario for
championing numerous collaborative efforts among the three parties,"
AMCHAM Chairman James Kim said.
