The active population of Grenoble-Isère is younger and better trained than the national average.
The relatively high level of qualification is due to the large number of leading international firms operating here, the presence of one of France's top universities and the overall attractiveness of the location.

High demands by industry

The requirements of leading-edge industrial companies, operating all over the world, have encouraged the development of a sophisticated job market. In addition, numerous foreign executives have been attracted to the area, resulting in cultural mixing and even greater competition.

An attractive location for executives

Thanks to the overall prosperity of the area more people move to Grenoble-Isère than out of it. The newcomers are mainly young graduates and technicians attracted by the prospect of jobs in technology and the overall quality of life.
