Regulatory News:
In line with the commitments made by the Group under the New
Social Contract, signed with four labour unions (FO, CFTC, CFE/CGC
and SIA) in October 2013, PSA Peugeot Citroën (Paris:UG) will have
hired 2,000 work-study programme participants by the end of 2015,
double the number offered places in 2014. Various types of
contracts are included in the programme, including apprenticeship
contracts, vocational training contracts and industrial agreements
for training through research.
At the end of August, 1,800 young people had already joined the
ranks at PSA Peugeot Citroën. Its commitment to hiring young people
is a way to prepare the next generation of employees and enable the
hiring of staff on permanent contracts once the Group's momentum
has been restored.
Under the policy, particular attention has been paid to
recruiting young female applicants, with a target of 30% women
among new work-study hires (women currently represent 20% of the
Group's workforce).
During the recruitment campaign, a website created specifically
for work-study programme offers received 90,000 visits and more
than 7,000 CVs, demonstrating that young people view PSA Peugeot
Citroën as a highly attractive employer.
As a further expression of its commitment, the Company has hired
nearly 200 young people on permanent contracts to boost its sales
teams in France.
Commenting on the campaign, Xavier Chéreau, Executive Vice
President Human Resources, said: "I am delighted with our progress.
At the end of 2015, PSA will have hired a total of 3,000 young
people under work-study contracts. Our apprenticeship policy is
allowing us to prepare the Group's future and strengthen the
employability of younger generations."
