Commitment from Kering to better jobs access
Luxury group Kering has signed a new partnership charter with France’s labour, employment and integration ministry with the aim of giving young people, vulnerable individuals and people with disabilities better access to jobs.
Kering said it was committed to recruiting young people on permanent and fixed-term contracts, paying particular attention to those from disadvantaged urban areas and those with disabilities. It said it is also committed to recruiting young people on work-study programs across all of its occupations and offering internships to those from disadvantaged urban areas and with disabilities.
It plans to establish partnerships with companies specialising in the employment of disabled people across France and will join forces with universities and schools to promote workforce integration, make its recruitment more diverse and improve its recruitment and training practices.
