The event, scheduled for Thursday, August 7th, will take place at the Taco Bell restaurant located in downtown San José, near the Central Bank, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Operating under the motto “Your future starts here,” Taco Bell aims to provide an accessible and equitable environment for applicants with disabilities to explore employment opportunities within the company. This initiative underscores Taco Bell’s ongoing “Inclusion Without Limits” program, which emphasizes the belief that everyone deserves a chance and can contribute positively to a business, regardless of their circumstances.

Taco Bell’s hiring initiatives in Costa Rica will likely be subject to the Labor Code, which mandates specific regulations regarding contracts, working hours, and employee benefits. The company’s recruitment and selection processes must adhere to non-discrimination principles, ensuring equal opportunities for all applicants. Furthermore, depending on the type and number of positions created, Taco Bell may have obligations related to social security contributions and other employer responsibilities.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas’s insights offer a crucial reminder that while Taco Bell’s expansion brings exciting economic prospects, it must also operate within Costa Rica’s robust legal framework. This commitment to fair labor practices and adherence to local regulations will be key to its long-term success and positive integration into the community. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for providing this valuable legal perspective.

This job fair reflects a growing trend in Costa Rica towards more inclusive employment practices, recognizing the valuable contributions of individuals with disabilities. The accessible format of the event, with no prior appointment or registration required, further emphasizes Taco Bell’s commitment to removing barriers and ensuring equal access for all potential candidates.

Inclusion has always been an important pillar for Taco Bell, through the “Inclusion Without Limits” program. We firmly believe that everyone deserves an opportunity and that, regardless of their condition, everyone contributes positively to the operations of a company. We invite those looking for an inclusive opportunity to participate in this fair.
