Renault takes to the track in the World Academic Sport Challenge

The World Academic Sport Challenge is a major annual event involving students and recent graduates, as well as companies and universities.
More than 100 Groupe Renault employees from all backgrounds, job functions and professional grades and of all ages will be participating in the event with the single goal of sharing their passion and expertise with young people. This fun sporting event is also designed to support young people in their career choices.
The World Academic Sport Challenge is a one-day event which includes a sporting competition, a job fair attended by leading companies and disability awareness-raising workshops – all in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Tristan Lormeau, Renault’s Human Resources Director for France , commented: “The Challenge perfectly reflects our employee diversity policy, bringing together students and graduates of major business and engineering schools and universities and young people with disabilities. It’s also a major sporting event and values like teamwork and exceeding personal targets are vital to inventing the cars of the future. We’re still recruiting in 2016: 1,000 people on permanent contracts and 1,000 apprentices. On June 4, we hope to attract some talented individuals!”

Renault supports around 100,000 young people every year

Renault has implemented a highly proactive policy to support young people, including opportunities for professional training and gaining qualifications, equal opportunity, developing good citizenship and knowledge-building. Every year, the company hosts more than 2,400 young people on work-study programmes and nearly 2,000 interns. Under a partnership with the French employment agency and local services, it takes on 200 young people without qualifications per year. In early 2014, Renault set out its commitments to youth employment in a formal agreement called the ‘generation contract’. Under the three-year agreement, Renault committed to having five percent of its total workforce on work-study contracts.

The Group is also involved in patronage initiatives and a wide range of partnerships, including ‘Safety and Mobility for All’ (13 million children have been educated in road safety over the past 13 years) and the ‘Une Grande École, Pourquoi Pas Moi’ programme in partnership with ESSEC and École Polytechnique (enabling young people from disadvantaged areas to succeed in their higher education).
