VINCI Energies Academies
The VINCI Energies Academy aims to spread know-how and soft skills by providing training courses that facilitate acculturation and help spread VINCI Energies’ core values. A total of 120 tailored training courses – in person or online – cover how our business units are managed and function on a day-to‑day basis.
These courses are run by external and internal experts – such as project managers, health and safety officers and directors, as well as administrative and accounting/financial managers – which guarantees innovative teaching and a concrete approach to our business lines.
The VINCI Energies Academy network covers Africa, Germany, Brazil, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Romania and the UK, with courses adapted to suit each specific culture.

Work-study programmes, apprenticeships and internships
Our business units pay special attention to young people’s professional integration. Apprenticeships and work-study programmes give us the opportunity to provide young people with training on our business lines, methods and expertise and contemplate long-term collaborations. For example, we have set up an training organisation in eastern France.
Many of our project managers, business unit managers and directors worked their way up internally.
