Second edition of LVMH’s training programme in Italy
28/11/2018
The programme aims to pass on savoir-faire and artisan skills in leathergoods and other disciplines to a new generation of craftspeople. LVMH announced in July 2017 that it would expand IME to Italy and has set up a headquarters in Florence to coordinate its work there.
The first academic year in Italy included two programmes, including one delivered with the help of Florence-based fashion and design school Polimoda dedicated to leathergoods craftsmanship.
There are three new programmes for 2018. They are:
• In women’s shoes with Politecnico Calzaturiero in Capriccio di Vigonza (Veneto region);
• In men’s shoes with Académie du Savoir-faire Berluti in Ferrare (Emilia Romagna region);
• In retail sales with Università Ca’Foscari Venezia in Venice.
Chantal Gaemperle, LVMH executive vice president of human resources and synergies, said: “LVMH clearly recognises the importance and excellence of Italian savoir-faire. The development of our Institut des Métiers d’Excellence in Italy reflects the group’s commitment to playing an active role in training young people and developing job opportunities available to them.”
