Bringing new generations closer to the world of hospitality by facilitating the meeting of supply and demand at a complex stage when the restaurant segment lacks thousands of employees. A new initiative starts in Ischia to award ten scholarships for paid internships (with a monthly stipend of 1,000 euros) of three months, in the kitchen and dining room, at some prestigious starred restaurants in the Gulf of Naples.

The competition, named “Chance,” is now in its fourth year and is designed and organized by the Ing. Salvatore Leonessa Foundation(www.fondazioneleonessa.it), which was established to promote and foster the education of younger people in the tourism sector.
It will be the symbolic place of Ischia in the world, the Aragonese Castle, to host the presentation of the call on Sunday, April 2 at 11 a.m. at the Terrazza degli Ulivi: the foundation’s president, Elena Leonessa, will explain how the competition, which this year is open to all Italian citizens, will be conducted, with the dual aim, she anticipates, of “offering an opportunity to a wider range of girls and boys who aspire to a bright start in their careers and, at the same time, drawing attention to the excellence and possibilities for professional achievement that the South of our country can offer.”
