Description
The automotive supplier NTN-SNR, specialised in motor bearings, has announced the recruitment of 150 people by 2023 in Argonay. At this site, the company manufactures the bearings used by engine manufacturers Safran, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls Royce and General Motors. In April 2018, NTN-SNR has established an extended production site in Argonay (near Annecy) to meet the growth of its market.
To guarantee these recruitments, NTN-SNR has launched the LEARN project to offer a 13-month vocational training programme. It is open to any candidate over 18 years of age, without any qualification or diploma requirements. No CV is required for the recruitment phases, which consist of a half-day of logic and assembly practical tests (4 hours), followed by an interview. At the end of this course, the new workers will obtain a Certificate of Joint Qualification in Metallurgy (CQPM) attesting to the acquisition of professional skills for industrial trades, at the national level. The launch of this project will take place on 18 November 2019 after a recruitment phase in October.
The group employs 6,921 people in Europe and reached a turnover of 1.5 billion in 2017.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
