With its Show Me event, Lvmh Métiers d’Excellence celebrates its Italian talents in creation, craftsmanship, and customer experience through a unique savoir-faire journey. On the occasion of the third edition of Show Me, the event held in Florence at the Manifattura Tabacchi, celebrating the Italian ecosystem of talents in Creation, Craftsmanship, and Customer Experience at Lvmh, French Maison announced that wants to recruit over 2,500 talents in Métiers d’Excellence in Italy by the end of 2025. Métiers d’Excellence opened in Florence its new office in Italy and highlighted the commitments of Lvmh, its Maisons, partner schools, and associations to safeguard its savoir-faire and ensure the intergenerational transmission of skilled métiers.

“We were pioneers in the recognition of skilled trades with the creation of the Métiers d’Excellence Institute nearly 10 years ago," said Chantal Gaemperle, EVP Human Resources & Synergies, Lvmh. "Today, our Métiers d’Excellence programs make us one of the world’s leading know-how transmission ecosystems. In Italy, new initiatives like the 'You and Me Tour' illustrate our long-term commitment to attract a new generation to our métiers. We expect to recruit over 2, 500 people in savoir-faire professions in Italy over the next two years and we are delighted that more than 400 new apprentices will be trained by the Italian Métiers d’Excellence Institute this year”.

The event provided a chance to confirm the Métiers d’Excellence ambitions and strong results in Italy in 2023. With the “Excellent!” program, Lvmh explained and presented its know-how to 1,531 students from Middle schools. “You and ME”, a tour that enables candidates to identify targeted training programs and job opportunities, made three stops in Italy in Firenze, Novara, and Padova and welcomed more than 3000 visitors. Finally, thanks to the Métiers d’Excellence Institute active in Italy since 2017, the Group has trained 730 apprentices in the country. The 2023-2024 year has a record-breaking cohort of 422 new Métiers d’Excellence apprentices in Italy who will benefit from the Institute’s programs.
