In September 2018, Arts et Métiers VINCI Energies signed a three-year national sponsorship agreement worth €100,000. On February 28, the senior management of VINCI Energies France dedicated to industry in the North East region formalized this partnership with the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Lille by signing a letter of intent describing in concrete terms the actions to be implemented in the field.
A first action already implemented
This partnership enables students at the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Lille to benefit from VINCI Energies' industrial expertise, enriching their education through a range of initiatives.
On Thursday, February 28, engineering students from the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Lille had the opportunity to meet with HR managers and engineers from the group. A business lunch aimed at promoting VINCI Energies' professions and business sectors, organized immediately after the signing of the letter of intent, was a great success with the thirty or so students in attendance. This success highlights the value of such a partnership for students, who will benefit for three years from initiatives that have already been agreed and implemented at the most opportune moment, namely:
- After-work event aimed at promoting and highlighting career paths at Vinci Energies during Industry Week
- Visit to a site in the region
- Educational interventions and proposed topics for study
