Renault will hire 1,000 people on fixed term temporary contracts in France in 2015 and 1,000 new apprentices.
In a statement, the automaker, which today announced a significant boost in profits in 2014, said: “This announcement shows the commitment made upon signing the ‘Contract for a new dynamic of growth and social development for Renault in France’, namely that of new hires in the second part of the agreement.
“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.
