All the benefits by departmentDiscover Ardèche
structural advantages
The Ardèche department is an experimentation area for the “Transition Collective” system. Its aim is to anticipate economic changes within companies by supporting volunteer employees that decide to retrain in a clear, well-prepared and fully-accepted manner. In this scheme funded by the State, employees retain their wages and employment contract while they retrain, with the aim of getting a new promising career in the same catchment area.

The automotive construction and equipment sector is helped by the presence of Vilesta, a group of companies in the industrial and leisure vehicles sector. With over 40 local members, Vilesta is a major player promoting links between manufacturers in this sector.
