              For several years already, LISI AUTOMOTIVE has
            
            
              been developing vocational professional courses
            
            
              that are recognized and lead to Certificates of
            
            
              vocational qualification in metallurgy (

              CQPM). Professional course in cold heading
            
            
              (PPF), machining (PPU) and career paths in
            
            
              heat treatment (PPTTH) have enabled those
            
            
              employees who followed them to consolidate
            
            
              and strengthen their vocational skills. Besides,
            
            
              a new training course has been launched to
            
            
              coach and train operators on rolling: supervised
            
            
              by experts and technicians selected in-house,
            
            
              this PPR (professional course in rolling) includes
            
            
              nearly 400 hours of training. This training course
            
            
              was provided on two  sites this year and adds up
            
            
              to the 2,500 other hours of professional courses
            
            
              that were completed.
            
            
              Because management is key to improving
            
            
              performance, LISI AUTOMOTIVE has engaged
            
            
              since 2005 in cooperation with the AFPI, a
            
            
              training course targeted at its supervisors.

              , the nine people from the
            
            
              2011 promotion received the degree which
            
            
              crowns “Supervisors Performance”, a 19-day
            
            
              training cycle that started at the beginning of
            
            
              the year and includes the following modules:
            
            
              communication and animation, practice of
            
            
              progress tools, management and organization,
            
            
              quality, safety and social relations.
            
            
              Defending gender
            
            
              equality
            
            
              in the company
            
            
              LISI is careful about the principles of equality within
            
            
              the company, particularly between the men and women
            
            
              employed by the Group. Much progress has been made
            
            
              in this direction. The indicators presented by LISI
            
            
              AUTOMOTIVE’s gender equality committee show that the
            
            
              workforce has become significantly more feminine: the
            
            
              number of female employees has risen from 19% in 2001
            
            
              to 24% in 2010. Women are heavily represented in the
            
            
              categories of technicians and managers. Nearly 20% of hires
            
            
              completed in 2010 are women. The analysis of earnings
            
            
              by coefficient also shows that women’s wages (+3.5%)
            
            
              rose more than men’s (2.99%) in 2010. Wage gaps have
            
            
              fallen sharply since 2009. In terms of training, finally, the
            
            
              indicators show that 79% of women employed as workers
            
            
              and 85.7% of female managers followed in-house or external
            
            
              training courses provided by the Group.
