Every year in November, French industry takes centre stage during Industry Week. This year, between 15 and 30 November, we had a great time, alongside UIMM Haute-Savoie(1) and MEDEF Haute-Savoie(2). At NTN Europe, we took part with a clear desire to show another side of industry, one that innovates, inspires and brings people together.
Meetings that count for Career guidance
On 15 November, at “La Nuit de l'Orientation”(3), we had the opportunity to talk directly to young people, families and adults undergoing retraining. This kind of event gives us the opportunity to ask questions, break down preconceived ideas and, above all, share real-life experiences.
Two of our employees spoke at the conferences, on subjects close to our hearts: women in industry and successful career changes. Listening to their stories, their challenges and their successes is what makes these discussions so powerful.
Forindustrie: a unique immersion in industrial trades
This year, we are a major partner of Forindustrie, and this year's event was the first in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region. With "Les secrets du Technodôme"(4), a 100% digital game inspired by video games, young people and jobseekers discovered the fascinating world of industry through immersive videos, interactive quizzes and discussions with professionals.
For us, it was an opportunity to showcase the very best that industry has to offer, through professions carried out by employees who perfectly embody our vision: innovation, boldness and the future.
Welcome to NTN : Indus'Tour
Open days are notoriously memorable. This year, we welcomed visitors to our Argonay, Seynod and Cran sites on 20, 26 and 29 November. These are moments when everything becomes concrete: seeing the machines in action, understanding the know-how that is the pride of our teams, talking to the people who make up today's industry.
These visits are not just about showing what we do, they're also about sharing our passion and inspiring people to join a sector full of challenges and opportunities.
Our commitment: to break down stereotypes and reveal vocations
When we talk about industry, we sometimes think of outdated ideas. But today's industry is exciting, innovative and full of prospects. Through our participation in Industry Week, we want to share this reality in a simple and authentic way:
- By opening up dialogue with young people and adults;
- By showcasing talent and sharing heartfelt stories;
- By deconstructing stereotypes about our sector.
We are convinced that the industry has a place for everyone, whatever their background or aspirations.
See you in 2025
These last few weeks have been rich in discoveries, encounters and inspiration. But this is just the beginning! See you next year for new initiatives, always with the same ambition: to share our passion for an industry that is changing.
