La Bottega di Quartiere (roughly meaning a neighbourhood workshop) was established to respond to the resounding call from Milan’s outskirts for a better quality of life and more jobs for the young.

Our response? A Handy Helper service to give job opportunities to disadvantaged young adults, many of whom didn’t finish school. They are on hand to run errands to help lighten the load of everyone across our Milan offices, and each helper is paired up with a tutor to help them develop their customer relationship skills.
