Develop apprenticeships and build lasting relationships with students
In all countries where VINCI operates, its companies form partnerships with vocational training and higher education establishments by helping to build career paths for students from middle school to university level. In 2021, VINCI launched the “Apprenticeships: VINCI is all in!” platform to connect students looking for work-based training programmes with partner schools and Group companies throughout France. In 2025, the Group hosted more than 8,500 young people on work-based training programmes. VINCI is also forging special, long-term relationships with partner schools – universities, management schools, engineering schools, vocational colleges, etc. In December 2025, VINCI announced that its Chairman, Xavier Huillard, will be the sponsor of the 2026 graduating class of the EATP, EFIATP and CFCTP schools in Égletons (central France), which train 600 students each year for vocational certificates, professional baccalaureates or advanced technician diplomas. As sponsor of the 2023-2027 class of École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, VINCI has carried out numerous initiatives for these students, including educational support through site visits, career talks with alumni testimonials, a hackathon organised with the Environment Department, coaching workshops, and more.
In 2025, the Group maintained its partnership with Fondation INSA (Institut National des Sciences Appliquées). Each year, the sponsorship awards grants to 180 students with a secondary school scholarship. It also includes a mentoring programme.
As part of this partnership, VINCI organised the third national eloquence contest, open to all INSA students, under this year’s theme, “AI, is there a debate?”. In addition, a challenge was organised for work-based trainees studying computer science to promote IT careers at VINCI. The event targeted these young professionals and specialised schools such as Epitech, Efrei and ESILV to promote the Group’s businesses. Through these numerous partnerships, VINCI also recruits via research by hiring PhD students at its subsidiaries. The Group currently employs more than 30 PhD students who met in October 2025 for the first VINCI PhD Day.
Act to promote inclusion and diversity
VINCI seeks to foster equal opportunity and prevent all forms of discrimination in its businesses in line with the commitments set out in its Manifesto.
To ensure the practical application of this policy, the Group has created a network of inclusion and diversity coordinators totalling 650 active members worldwide. VINCI is committed to promoting gender diversity, particularly in management.
The percentage of women in management positions was 24.3% in 2025 (26.7% in France).
The Group has set a target to increase both the percentage of women in management positions and the percentage of women members on the Group’s management committees to 30% by 2030. This policy is underpinned by a range of training courses, including one on inclusive management, available on the Up! platform.
In addition, VINCI, with its more than 1,000 committed employees, has been a partner of the Elles Bougent association since 2018, which encourages young girls to take up technical and scientific careers. In March 2025, a week of events was organised in celebration of the UN’s International Women’s Day to raise awareness about this issue among all Group employees. A wide-ranging programme was offered (more than 80 sessions spread across all the Group’s time zones) and attended by more than 6,500 people in 103 countries. VINCI continues its concerted policy to support the employment of people with disabilities.
With a view to their professional integration and sustainable employment, the Trajeo’h network contributed to the recruitment of 311 people and supported 1,293 people with disabilities in 2025 (10,599 since 2014) in France. In addition, €17.2 million in revenue was outsourced by all Group entities combined to companies operating in the sheltered sector.
To meet the challenges of retaining skills and expertise while managing its intergenerational workforce, VINCI continued its Les Experts programme in 2025. Under the programme, VINCI retirees can take on expert assignments for Group subsidiaries or mentor young hires to facilitate their integration.
