We're thrilled to announce the launch of the fourth cohort of our Learning To FLY: Advanced Culinary Training Program! This comprehensive 11-course curriculum, designed by Sodexo for the United States Air Force, equips selected Airmen with advanced culinary knowledge and skills, preparing them for future success beyond military service. Under the guidance of our executive chefs, participants immerse themselves in essential culinary techniques such as knife skills, roasting, baking, and more. They have the unique opportunity to showcase their newly acquired skills during a graduation ceremony. Our commitment to supporting the military community extends beyond training programs. At Sodexo, we’re proud to support our military-affiliated employees and families year-round through our HONOR (Honoring Our Nation’s Finest with Opportunity and Respect) EBRG. This initiative offers development opportunities and partners with community groups to support veterans, active duty, National Guard, and military reserves. As we recognize the sacrifices and contributions of service members and their families this July, we reaffirm our dedication to their well-being and professional development. Join us in celebrating the achievements of our Learning to FLY participants and all those who serve. 🎖️ #SodexoGovernment #LearningToFLY #MilitaryAppreciation #HONOROurHeroes #Veterans #CommunitySupport #SupportOurTroops

Happy Fourth of July! 🎇🎉 As we celebrate, let’s honor those who have served to protect our freedoms. Today, we'd like to share a heartwarming story about Traci Leed, Sodexo Dining Supervisor at Garden Spot Village and her thoughtful act of kindness and respect for our veterans. Traci crochets beautiful afghans as a symbol of gratitude for those who have served our country. One of the residents, Tom Gasbarro, who served in the Navy from 1958-1962, was deeply touched when Traci presented him with her handmade afghan, creating a moment of joy and gratitude. Traci’s gesture goes beyond crocheting; it’s about uniting generations. With several family members, including a son, who have served, Traci truly understands the value of honoring our veterans. The afghans she creates are more than just blankets; they are symbols of honor and respect. This Fourth of July, let’s take a moment to appreciate acts of kindness like Traci's, and honor the heroes in our communities. Thank you, Traci, for reminding us of the importance of showing gratitude to our military and veterans. #SodexoUSA #FourthOfJuly #Military #Veterans

María González-Burgos sheds lights on some of the challenges women face in leadership roles, particularly in the Facilities Management field where intrinsic biases and gaps in professional opportunities are often a barrier. She emphasized the importance of intentional recruiting and developing a talent pipeline that supports women’s growth. “It is important to keep the momentum," says Maria. “Understand and use data to increase awareness of inclusion and diversity initiatives in the recruitment process of leadership roles that allow representation and growth within the organization." Maria actively supports women and minority communities through networking, mentorship, and involvement in organizations like LAESA (Latin-American Engineering Student Association), encouraging students to pursue STEM careers and promoting careers in FM. At Sodexo, powerful women's groups, like SoTogether empower women in facilities management through courses, certifications, and conferences. Maria calls for more allies to support women's advancement in leadership roles. Leaders can promote gender equality by mentoring, sponsoring, and tracking progress with inclusive metrics. Join us in celebrating Maria's dedication to fostering gender equality and supporting women in leadership! #Sodexo #SodexoUSA #WeAreSodexo #WomenInLeadership #GenderEquality #Diversity #Inclusion #Sodexo #WomenEmpowerment
