Description
The shipbuilding company STX France has announced plans to recruit 120 permanent employees for the Saint-Nazaire shipyard in 2018. STX France has been commissioned to build 14 cruise ships by 2026 and needs to increase its workforce in order to keep up with demand. The company is facing a labour shortage and is finding it difficult to recruit specialised workers. To find new employees, STX has produced short films to disseminate online, organises "jobs dating" and is increasing the number of apprenticeships and partnerships with schools. A previous job expansion has been recorded : STX France announced it would recruit 150 permanent employees by the end of 2016.
