with an average increase of 600-800 over the last 10 years.
Three major fields illustrate what quality is all about
:
- Subcontracting and manpower: the Rhône-Alpes
Region's solid industrial tradition, now reflected in a myriad
of SMEs, simplifies recruitment and subcontracting.
- Education and training: established in 1993, Isle
d'Abeau's technology-oriented higher education hub continues
to develop in tandem with local industry. In parallel with
this, the STSs (Advanced Vocational Training Departments)
are playing a growing role at upper secondary school level.
For adults the New Town offers a large range of continuing
education and sandwich courses.
- Research: at 11% of the national potential the Rhône-Alpes
Region research hub is France's second largest, with Lyon,
Grenoble and St Etienne home to a gamut of complementary facilities
in fundamental and applied research. Major institutions and
companies within the Region are currently establishing national
and international skills centres, notable Isle d'Abeau representatives
being Lafarge, Vicat, Hewlett-Packard, France Télécom
and Valeo.
