Training new generations of artisans to leather métiers | Hermès Footsteps Across The World

Hermès trains new generations of artisans from all backgrounds for its leather métiers, strengthening the multiplicity and diversity of its leather workshops.  Florists, jewellers, butchers, young graduates, job seekers, etc.: the identity and experience of those who join the Hermès leatherworking schools is not important. First and foremost, training coordinators like Gabrielle and Christophe build on the dexterity and capacity for learning of these students with unusual career paths, who are recruited through the Pôle Emploi agencies in the regions in which the French manufacturing facilities are established.  Acquiring the know-how and qualities of a Hermès artisan – meticulousness, precision, attention to quality, perseverance, etc. – goes far beyond a simple exercise. Behind the gesture, a posture and an attitude give the work meaning and constitute a promise of pride for the future artisans.  #HermesFootsteps Discover Hermès values and relationship with sustainable development on our website: https://h.fr/FootstepsacrosstheworldMovies Watch the entire Hermès Footsteps across the world documentary series:  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD1G-Fq3N1R--zXe1mtEQZpbm7okjuzvO&si=qXj7Uq_Ise2DdDK9 *** Welcome to the world of Hermès: In 1837 Thierry Hermes opened his workshop making the finest quality harnesses and saddles in the heart of Paris.
