Jobs & training

Building quality teams at every level, simultaneously offering each of Groupe CIF’s 1,400 employees opportunities for growth in their jobs, adapting skills to the company’s and its customers’ needs and above all anticipating generation renewal are constant concerns. Indeed, the Group is only ever as good as the people in it.

Welcoming trainees and apprentices is an integral part of Groupe CIF’s culture. By considering them to be future employees, we devote special care to recruiting, integrating and supporting them. It is with this in mind that jobs are defined based on specific technical skills and requirements in terms of safety, the environment, and quality.

Support will be provided throughout their careers within our companies, through a policy of training and a continued search for knowledge, the opportunity to make day-to-day progress, and by relying on modern methods such as Lean Manufacturing in order to reduce costs, improve response times and simplify processes. Each employee contributes, at his or her own level, to the performance and development of Groupe CIF by improving the key factors of its competitiveness.
