In this particular context, LVMH is committed to this age group and is offering them 25,000 permanent, work-study and internship positions by the end of the year.
Like the number 1 in beauty, L’Orealthe luxury leader LVMH has made a major decision in favor of young people under 30: launching a proactive plan in favor of employment and employability entitled “Craft the Future”. The group aims to recruit 25,000 young people by the end of the year, including 20,000 permanent contracts and 5,000 internships and apprenticeships.

At a time when the COVID-19 crisis has particularly affected younger generations and impacted their employability, LVMH wishes to accompany and support them in a concrete way in building their professional future. This is the purpose of our “Craft the future” action plan. Beyond recruitment figures, it is essential for the Group to commit to the employability of young people by improving the visibility and knowledge of our professions. declares Chantal Gaemperle, director of human resources and synergies, on the site LVMH.
