French leathergoods group to recruit hundreds of new workers
28/03/2019
SIS’s current workforce is around 1,400 people, spread across five manufacturing sites. Three of those production facilities are in France, while the others are in Madagascar and China.
It has run its own leather training academy in Avoudrey, a village in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of eastern France, about 30 kilometres from the border with Switzerland, since 2011. New recruits can learn leathergoods skills and about SIS values here and gain formal, transferrable qualifications under France’s national CAP (Professional Skills Certificate) programme.
