06 June 2017  09:30

Boulogne Billancourt, France - On Saturday, June 10, 2017, more than 100 Groupe Renault employees from all professional categories, business lines, ages and origins will share their passion and expertise with young people to facilitate their first career-related choices.

For the past three years, Renault has been a partner of the Challenge du Monde des Grandes Écoles et Universités, a must-attend event for students and young graduates as well as for companies and institutions of higher education.

Based on a one-day format, the Challenge combines a sporting competition, a careers fair featuring leading companies and awareness workshops on disabilities, all in a festive setting that fosters informal discussion.

Tristan Lormeau, Head of Human Resources, Renault, France: commented: “The Challenge – a major event for youths from grandes écoles and universities, some of whom have disabilities – fits perfectly with our policy on talent diversity. The sporting competition also reflects our values such as team spirit and surpassing oneself, which are also necessary when it comes to designing the car of tomorrow. In 2017, Renault is recruiting 1,800 people on permanent contracts and 1,000 student-apprentices. On June 10, we hope to meet creative, combative minds who are willing to surpass themselves with every test, who want to meet the challenge of building tomorrow’s cars and join our Group.”

In 2017, Renault plans to recruit 1,800 people on permanent contracts and 1,000 student-apprentices in France

Following the recruitment of 3,000 persons on permanent contracts between 2015 and 2016, Groupe Renault has announced the additional hiring of 1,800 people and 1,000 student-apprentices in 2017.

These new hires are part of a commitment made in the ‘Renault France - CAP 2020’ agreement signed on January 13, 2017, to hire 3,600 people on permanent employment contracts in France between 2017 and 2019, plus a further 6,000 through youth employment schemes.

The new hires, half of which will be in production facilities and the other half in engineering facilities, will concern all personnel categories.

Between 2017 and 2019, Renault will also recruit 1,000 student-apprentices and 1,000 youths on work placement per year, who will then be given priority for the permanent employment contracts. In keeping with its youth policy, the company has set a target of filling 40% of its permanent employment contracts with young people. Renault will also pursue its policy of integrating less qualified youth into its workforce.
