Teaming up with BTP CFA Gironde to recruit work-study students

VINCI Energies has joined forces with the apprentice training centre BTP CFA Gironde's Mérignac branch for construction electricians to recruit work-study students.

On June 16, an event brought together 17 work-study students from the apprentice training centre and five VINCI Energies business units with the aim of identifying future VINCI Energies employees in the region. Two young people were recruited and nine others are currently awaiting a reply.

The recruitment drive took place in a new 200 m² building used to train construction electricians on a campus shared with CFA Ducretet, an apprentice training centre that specialises in professions related to telecommunications and electrical appliances.

'Rather than exclusively considering experienced applicants, we turned the tables by actively seeking candidates with no previous training. Our business units need people with strong social and soft skills, and enthusiastic 18- to 25-year-olds fit the bill', underlines Christophe Laborde, a VINCI Energies director in France.

BTP CFA Gironde wants to broaden the range of training courses on offer to include professional qualifications for construction electricians.
