Printemps Academy: A SPRINGBOARD TO EXCELLENCE AND SUCCESS
The Printemps Académie is a unique training environment, designed by our in-house teams and for our employees throughout their career. Whether they aspire to become sales experts, experienced buyers or recognized managers, we offer them the keys to excel and reveal their full potential.
A rich, tailor-made training catalog
The Printemps Académie offers a complete range of training courses to meet the requirements of each profession: from sales to retail excellence, fashion or digital culture.
Recognized certifications to make the most of what you've learned
Commitment is rewarded by prestigious certifications issued by renowned external training organizations such as Université Paris Dauphine, La Sorbonne and ESMOD.
Encouraging the development of young talent
Every year, the Printemps Académie welcomes work-study students and interns from all areas of the company. This is a unique opportunity for talented young people to immerse themselves in the world of Printemps, acquire valuable skills and contribute to the growth of our company.
PROMOTING INSERTION AND SOLIDARITY
As a committed company, the Printemps group is committed to fostering diversity and inclusion, and thus giving everyone a chance. At the end of 2023, the Printemps Academy developed a tailor-made program in collaboration with France Travail to train jobseekers with no experience in sales professions, in line with Printemps' standards of excellence. Throughout their training, beneficiaries were able to draw on the experience of Printemps employees (job presentations, job interview coaching, on-the-job training and assessment of prior learning). A number of participants have gone on to secure permanent contracts at Printemps Haussmann, demonstrating the effectiveness and positive impact of this program.
At the same time, every year several Printemps stores welcome young people with disabilities for a day of discovery training as part of the DUODAY operation, run by ALGEEI in collaboration with the French Ministry of Labor, Health and Solidarity.
Last but not least, the Printemps group works to fight exclusion and poverty, donating in kind to associations such as Emmaüs, Le Secours Populaire, La Croix Rouge Française, Les Papillons Blancs and the Fondation des Apprentis d'Auteuil. For the Group, these actions are a further illustration of its focus on empowerment, the common thread running through its commitment to society.
The "Retail together" program
In order to forge closer links between teams, improve teamwork and operational efficiency, Printemps is offering head office staff a chance to discover what life is like in store (Sales and Ship From Store): welcoming customers, maintaining the sales area, packing merchandise, labeling products, preparing orders for e-commerce, in-store picking... "When you're in the office, you can imagine what daily life is like in a store, but actually experiencing it in real life is something else entirely. This field experience has inspired me and made my missions more concrete" Julie, head office project manager.
