ReStart Program

ReStart at MDLZ

The MDLZ ReStart program is a career relaunch opportunity available in the USA and UK, featuring roles that offer meaningful work, support from managers, visibility to leadership, and opportunities to further your career.

We provide these opportunities to support individuals returning to work after a long career break. Mondelēz International and the ReStart Program are part of the STEM Reentry Task Force, a groundbreaking career reentry initiative co-led by the Society of Women Engineers and iRelaunch.

The program also partners with Career Returners and offers roles across various sectors, including Tech, Sales, Customer Service, Logistics, Engineering, and HR.

"MDLZ knows that if we want to hire the best talent in the market, we must continue to evolve our talent attraction practices – and that’s why I’m pleased we are partnering with SWE and iRelaunch to expand our reach to high-performing talent that wants to resume their careers. This will connect MDLZ to broader diverse talent pools where everybody wins.”

The Program

Who is this for:

Maintaining and encouraging women's participation in technology is a priority for us. It's common for many individuals, both women and men, to pause their careers to care for family members. Unfortunately, when they seek to return, they often face limited prospects for resuming full-time employment. If this resonates with your experience, our ReStart Program is designed with you in mind, and we highly recommend that you apply.

We're in search of professionals with a background in the consumer goods industry who are eager to rejoin the workforce. Applicants should hold an academic degree and have been either under-employed or out of work for a minimum of one year to qualify for the ReStart program.

Reasons for a year career break might include:

  1. Starting a family
  2. Caring for family member
  3. Teaching
  4. Serving your community
  5. Fulfilling military service
  6. Exploring entrepreneurial ventures
  7. Serving in political office
  8. Continuing education

"I am excited to help break the bias against taking career breaks, and enhance diversity & inclusion in the workspace by providing equal opportunities for career re-launchers to contribute and flourish. I am grateful for our partnership with iRelaunch & SWE to ensure we lay-out a robust program from search to on-boarding!"
