Mexico: Cemex is joining the Global Alliance for Youth (All4YOUth), a business alliance of more than 200 companies that seeks to strengthen the capabilities of young people between the ages of 18 and 29 years to enter the professional world. Founded by Nestlé in 2014, All4YOUth is a scheme intended to help young people around the world to acquire business skills. Its aim is to reduce school dropout rates, contribute to young people’s employability, and to help them develop their skills for the workplace of today and tomorrow.
