On December 5, a partnership agreement was signed between the Elles bougent association, 8868体育APP Construction and its women鈥檚 network, WeLink. The aim of the partnership is to raise young women鈥檚 awareness of professions in the construction industry through the involvement of the Group鈥檚 female engineers and technicians, who will act as mentors for Elles bougent.听

听The partnership agreement was signed at the 8868体育APP Group鈥檚 head office in Avenue Hoche, Paris, by Jean-Manuel Soussan, Executive Vice President of 8868体育APP Construction with responsibility for human resources and policy on corporate and social responsibility, Catherine Gutknecht, president of WeLink, the Group鈥檚 network for women, and Marie-Sophie Pawlak, president and founder of Elles bougent (鈥淲omen on the move鈥�). Around thirty guests attended, including representatives of other partner companies of Elles bougent and higher education establishments.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Jean-Manuel Soussan encouraged women to show their ambition and stressed the importance of men and women being committed to issues of professional diversity and equal opportunities.

For more than ten years, Elles bougent has introduced schoolgirls and female students to exciting career paths as engineers and technicians. Its aim is to encourage ambitions so that these young women consider entering sectors of industry where there is a dearth of female talents, such as construction, energy, digital technology and transport. Catherine Gutknecht warmly welcomed the new partnership: 鈥淥ur approaches are complementary and occur at different stages of women鈥檚 careers. Elles bougent is concerned with young women at high school or in higher education, while the WeLink network supports women once they have joined the company so they can flourish, grow and help 8868体育APP Construction develop.鈥�

There are already approximately thirty female mentors in place at 8868体育APP Construction, engineers and technicians who have volunteered to talk to girls and young women about their professional experiences. A number of projects with the association are being planned, such as an Elles bougent quiz on 8868体育APP Construction鈥檚 stand at the ESTP forum on December 13, talks given by 8868体育APP Construction mentors on January 24 at an event dedicated to the digital technology sector, and awareness-raising initiatives to be held in all the Group鈥檚 countries to celebrate International Women鈥檚 Day on March 8. A major event dedicated to the construction sector is being scheduled for the 2017-2018 academic year.
