La Poste Group is getting ready to open the doors of a data and AI school that as of January 2023 will welcome dual work-study students and postal workers looking to change jobs. The dual work-study training will lead to a certification. In addition to its need for skills, La Poste wants to place several key principles at the heart of its project, including ethics, diversity and parity.

La Poste Group announced the endeavour in June during Vivatech, the major technology innovation show in Paris, and invitations to apply open up in September and October. The company is aiming to train 50 people, selected from within and outside the company, starting in 2023, before then ramping up to 250 per year.

Four key professions. La Poste intends to “provide itself with alternatives to external recruitment” in the face of “market tensions in data functions”, explains Valérie Louradour, deputy head of professional development.
