“YOU AND ME”, THE MÉTIERS D’EXCELLENCE RECRUITING INITIATIVE

Each year, the Métiers d’Excellence LVMH organizes the “You and ME” tour, which visits cities across France from January to March to connect with future talents. Launched in 2022, this initiative reflects LVMH’s commitment to inclusion, seeking to develop the employability of young people and people seeking reskilling opportunities in creative, craft and customer experience professions, from retail to hospitality (hotels, restaurants and more). The events help guide people to targeted training programs and give them access to job opportunities. This traveling vocational and recruiting fair lets participants discover more than 280 skilled professions and apply for jobs (work/study contracts, internships, temporary and permanent job offers) available at LVMH Maisons throughout France.

and promote career-long learning, notably through continuing education.

Anticipating the competencies and savoir-faire

needed to perform the Métiers d'Excellence of tomorrow by stimulating innovation and creativity.

among different Métiers d'Excellence.
