INSTITUTE OF MÉTIERS D’EXCELLENCE LVMH

The first training program in the luxury industry with a work-study format, the ME Institute offers training in Creative, Craft and Client Experience métiers.

The ME Institute was founded in 2014 to pass on savoir-faire defined by excellence in 43 Craft, Creative and Client Experience métiers, targeting both young generations and people seeking reskilling opportunities.

In each training program, students follow courses that comprise both technical learning and theory, in partnership with prestigious schools and universities and at LVMH Maisons, working under paid apprenticeship and skills development contracts.ME Institute students learn foreign languages as well, and meet experts and tour workshops and stores during Master Classes. At the end of their training they receive two degrees – one from their school and the Brevet d’Excellence certificate, recognized by all LVMH Maisons and partners of the Group.
“The ME Institute has met the challenge it took on when the program was launched in 2014, namely to develop the employability of apprentices, regardless of their initial qualifications, while at the same time preserving the unique savoir-faire that is emblematic of LVMH Maisons.”
