“Renault will also build on its commitment to young people by signing 1,000 apprenticeship contracts.”
The hiring campaign will focus on targeted businesses related to industrial projects and technological challenges over the next few years in France such as autonomous and connected vehicles and alternative energy.
Half of the employees hired in 2015 will work in Renault plants with the rest in other positions, in particular engineering. They will cover all professional categories (workers, technicians, engineers and executives) and are aimed at young graduates and experienced candidates alike. The group will also endeavour to hire a large number of women, “thereby confirming its commitment to gender diversity”.
The company said it would continue its efforts regarding the employment of seniors in accordance with the agreement for “the promotion of the employment of young people and seniors and intergenerational solidarity”, signed in December 2013.
The 1,000 apprentices reflect a policy to develop the professional skills of young people.
