All of the new hires will be offered open-ended employment contracts. The partnership between LCL and ANPE will focus on targeting, identifying and assessing job applicants based on a joint analysis of the bank’s quantitative and qualitative recruitment needs and the make-up of the local labor market.

Starting in October 2007, LCL and ANPE plan to jointly conduct a territorial analysis of expected labor and skills requirements in order to anticipate manpower demand.
