LVMH inaugurates the seventh LIVE Campus in Bordeaux and expands support opportunities for return to employment

Since its creation in 2019, LIVE - L'Institut des Vocations pour l'Emploi has offered an inclusive and ambitious professional integration program, with more than 2,500 people already supported. By inaugurating this seventh campus in Bordeaux, LVMH reaffirms its long-term commitment to helping beneficiaries build professional projects and providing them with all the tools needed to implement them.

It is in the heart of the Bordeaux metropolitan area, Quai des Chartrons, that LIVE - L'Institut des Vocations pour l'Emploi is opening its seventh campus, marking a new milestone in its expansion and strengthening its national presence with a new location in the greater Southwest of France. Organized in the presence of Brigitte Macron, President of LIVE, Antoine Arnault, Image and Environment of LVMH, Maud Alvarez-Pereyre, Group Chief Human Resources Officer of LVMH and Olivier Théophile, General Director of LIVE and Group SVP Social Engagement of LVMH, this event was also an opportunity for beneficiaries to define their career paths.

The Nouvelle-Aquitaine region and the city of Bordeaux provide a particularly favorable environment for hosting the campus. LIVE integrates into a network of committed local partners, companies, public authorities and nonprofit organizations, essential to the success of future beneficiaries.

The Bordeaux campus, like the six other LIVE campuses, the Bordeaux campus, will welcome two annual cohorts of 50 to 60 people. In total, 700 places will be offered each year across all campuses to those wishing to implement a new professional life project. The program supports, over a five-month period, individuals over the age of 25 who have been out of the job market for more than one year, regardless of their initial qualifications or ambitions - employment, training, or entrepreneurship - with highly diverse profiles ranging from middle school level to postgraduate degrees (up to PhD equivalent), with an average age of 41. Whether the reasons for being out of the job market were involuntary - career disruption, illness - or the result of personal or family choices, all participants demonstrate a strong motivation to transform their paths, enhance their skills, and develop their potential upon joining the program offered by LIVE. Since its creation in 2019, more than 2,500 people have already been supported, with an employment access rate exceeding 80% ten months after entry.

“With LIVE, LVMH expresses a strong conviction: to go beyond its business activity and consistently assume its contribution to the common good, embedding its social impact over the long term. Ultimately, this is about ‘giving back’ - not as a one-time gesture, but as a responsibility commensurate with what the Group represents,” said Antoine Arnault, Image and Environment, LVMH.

Supporting the LIVE institute is one illustration of the commitment of LVMH and its Maisons, which in 2025 helped more than 2.5 million people through various initiatives.

“The mission of Human Resources at LVMH is to transform career paths by revealing talent, regardless of background or origin. With this seventh LIVE campus in Bordeaux, we are strengthening long-term support, as close as possible to individuals, and focused on those whom life has sometimes set aside. This is where our commitment takes on its full meaning: restoring confidence, opening up opportunities, and enabling everyone to build their place,” said Maud Alvarez-Pereyre, Group Chief Human Resources Officer, LVMH.

LIVE is currently structured around seven campuses:

· 2019 – Clichy-sous-Bois, Île-de-France

· 2019 – Valence, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

· 2021 – Roubaix, Hauts-de-France

· 2023 – Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

· 2024 – Reims, Grand-Est

· 2024 – Le Havre, Normandie

· 2026 – Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Each campus works in close coordination with local employment and social integration stakeholders - associations, public services, partner companies - providing a complementary and integrated response to existing programs.

“With this seventh campus in Bordeaux, we aim to offer as many people as possible the opportunity to transform their professional paths. Each feedback from participants we support reminds us why LIVE exists: to find a life path more aligned with one’s expectations and to continue to grow,” added Olivier Théophile, General Director of LIVE - L'Institut des Vocations pour l'Emploi and Group SVP Social Engagement, LVMH.
