Providing educational guidance to young people
SEVEN THOUSAND MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS from priority neighbourhoods, as defined in France’s urban policy, participated in the Give Me Five programme in 2023. During the students’ work experience placements in VINCI companies or outreach events at schools, hundreds of Group employees helped to introduce these young people to the many varied aspects of their jobs. Another facet of the programme provided personalised coaching to students, in partnership with other non-profits, and free access to the academic support platform boost.vinci.com
Close to 8,000 young people undertook work-based training within the Group in 2023.
8,000children of employees in France received online academic support in 2023 through boost.vinci.com a free platform developed in partnership with Prof Express.
“The students’ feedback is very positive because they are engaged in a participative process, which motivates them and leaves a mark. They look at their career options differently. Thanks to Give Me Five, they acquire useful skills and behaviours, and that’s very important.”
Helping people back into employment
VINCI’S BUSINESSES create substantial numbers of local jobs, especially for people who are trained and hired under integration programmes at worksites. In France, VINCI Insertion Emploi (ViE) works with Group companies to implement these programmes, managing over 1 million work integration hours each year. Teaming up with partners specialising in integration through economic activity, VINCI is also creating social joint ventures to help build paths to sustainable employment. VINCI is a stakeholder in 5 of the 20 such structures in France, which provide cleaning services at worksite facilities and motorway service areas, handle construction site logistics and carry out routine maintenance operations.
