The Paris-listed company behind brands such as Louis Vuitton and Celine wants to recruit 25,000 people under the age of 30 by the end of 2022.
The global search for talent will help add to its existing workforce, currently around 165,000 employees.
Chantal Gaemperle, the group’s director of HR and synergies, said: “At a time when the Covid-19 crisis has particularly affected the younger generations and impacted their employability, LVMH intends to accompany and support them in a concrete way to build their careers.”
There will be apprenticeships, internships and permanent contracts on offer, and the firm’s web platform ‘Inside LVMH’ will offer training tips.
The recruitment drive comes at a time when the luxury industry is rebounding from difficulties seen at the start of the pandemic, when shops had to close for lockdowns.
In July LVMH revealed a 56% jump in revenues to €28.7 billion for the first half.
