A thoughtful employer

The Printemps Académie is a unique training environment, designed by our in-house teams and for our employees throughout their career. Whether they aspire to become sales experts, experienced buyers or recognized managers, we offer them the keys to excel and reveal their full potential. 

A rich, tailor-made training catalog

The Printemps Académie offers a complete range of training courses to meet the requirements of each profession: from sales to retail excellence, fashion or digital culture. 

Recognized certifications to make the most of what you've learned

Commitment is rewarded by prestigious certifications issued by renowned external training organizations such as Université Paris Dauphine, La Sorbonne and ESMOD. 

Encouraging the development of young talent

Every year, the Printemps Académie welcomes work-study students and interns from all areas of the company. This is a unique opportunity for talented young people to immerse themselves in the world of Printemps, acquire valuable skills and contribute to the growth of our company.

> Internship and work-study programmes within the Group

As a committed company, the Printemps group is committed to encouraging diversity and inclusion, and thus giving everyone a chance. Several Printemps and Citadium stores offer tailor-made training programs in collaboration with the Printemps Académie and France Travail , aimed at training jobseekers with no experience in sales professions, in line with the Group's standards of excellence. Throughout their training, beneficiaries benefit from the experience of Printemps and Citadium employees (presentation of professions, coaching for job interviews, on-the-job training and assessment of acquired skills). Many of the participants have gone on to secure permanent contracts at Printemps Haussmann, Printemps La Valentine, Printemps Terrasses du Port and Citadium Marseille, demonstrating the effectiveness and positive impact of the program. In October 2024, the City of Paris awarded the “Committed Employer Prize” to Printemps Haussmann for this program.

At the same time, several Printemps and Citadium stores welcome young people with disabilities every year as part of the DUODAY or “Immersion Facilitée” operations, run by ALGEEI in collaboration with the French Ministry of Labor, Health and Solidarity.

Last but not least, the Printemps group works to combat exclusion and poverty, notably through numerous in-kind donations to associations such as Emmaüs, Le Secours Populaire, La Croix Rouge Française, Les Papillons Blancs and the Fondation des Apprentis d'Auteuil. For the Group, these actions are a further illustration of its commitment to empowerment, a common thread running through its social commitment.

In order to forge closer links between teams, improve teamwork and operational efficiency, Printemps is offering head office staff a chance to discover what life is like in store (Sales and Ship From Store): welcoming customers, maintaining the sales area, packing merchandise, labeling products, preparing orders for e-commerce, in-store picking... "When you're in the office, you can imagine what daily life is like in a store, but actually experiencing it in real life is something else entirely. This field experience has inspired me and made my missions more concrete" Julie, head office project manager.
