In 2015, the French banking sector recruited over 39,000 people, according to the French Banking Association (AFB), having hired almost 35,000 people in 2014 . Also important to note, 66% of these jobs are open-ended contracts - compared to an average of only 20% for the rest of France.
Among the many job offerings, work-study opportunities play an important role. It remains a key recruiting tool for banking, while young people appreciate the opportunity to combine education and paid work, all while gaining a crucial first experience. In 2015, French banks offered more than 6,000 work-study contracts: through apprenticeship or professionalization contracts, for students up to the Master's level (Bac+5).
This is in addition to the more than 1,000 V.I.E. contracts (international corporate volunteer program ) that allow young people to work abroad for a period of six months to two years, discovering both a new profession and a new country!
