Apprentices in the 2017/2018 class at the LVMH
Institut des Métiers d’Excellence (IME) begin their training
programs today. The IME has had an eventful year and has organized
an exhibition of work done by students from previous years.
For its first class in 2014 the IME welcomed 28 apprentices.
Since then, nearly 300 trainees have joined this unique
work/study program. This growth reflects both an increase in
the number of apprentices and a commitment to making the IME a
vocational training program on a European scale thanks to
partnerships between prestigious schools and LVMH Maisons. Last
year, just two years after its creation, the IME opened its first
watchmaking school in Switzerland – the École d’Horlogerie LVMH –
followed this year by the Istituto dei Mestieri d’Eccellenza LVMH
in Italy, located in Palazzo Pucci in Florence.
Four new training tracks have been added to the 14
courses in the IME catalogue in Italy, Switzerland and France. In
Italy, the program now includes Leather Goods (Pelletteria) in
partnership with Polimoda and Jewelry (Oreficeria) with For.Al. In
France, the IME has teamed with the Sorbonne Nouvelle and École
Duperré to create the first Master in Design, Fashion and Creative
Industries, and with EIML Paris for a new Client Advisor course,
taught in English. These programs reflect the diversity and
scope of the training offered by the IME for students and
apprentices interested in careers in artisanal craftsmanship and
creative and retail professions, ranging from high school level
vocational certificates to masters degrees. “The European expansion
of the LVMH Institut des Métiers d’Excellence and these new courses
underline the importance LVMH attaches to transmission of
savoir-faire and to the unique skills required in the luxury
industry,” said Chantal Gaemperle, LVMH Group Executive Vice
President, Human Resources & Synergies.
