June 2011 - A rugby tournament to build good sporting relations!

At the initiative of Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France, Bouygues Construction held a 7-a-siderugby tournament on May 28, involving students from engineering schools we are targeting along with Group personnel.
The tournament was held at the Sporting, a sports complex located close to Challenger, the Bouygues Construction headquarters. Centrale Paris, ESTP and Hautes Etudes d'Ingénieur (HEI)  all competed, as did Bouygues Construction employees belonging to the Minorange Sports Association (ASM).
The day began with a lunch that gave all the teams the opportunity to introduce themselves. The matches were then played throughout the afternoon.
After putting together a series of wins, the HEI team was presented with the trophy.
Those interested in taking part in competing in next year's tournament should think about putting a team together!





March 2011 - Live my life at Bouygues Construction

Following brainstorming sessions involving students, the Human Resources department and our campus managers, we decided to invite students from the ESTP engineering school to take part in a day of discovery through a "Live my Life" event, inspired by a popular French TV programme.
The initiative was based on the voluntary involvement of ESTP graduates now working at Bouygues Construction, who agreed to be accompanied for day by a 2nd or 3rd year student.
The day was scheduled for February 16, 2011. 27 employees of Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France, Bouygues Bâtiment International, Bouygues Travaux Publics and ETDE volunteered to take part, including people working inconstruction, engineering, sales, etc.
The day proved a great success, and more "Live my Life" days are planned for future months.
If you're interested, make a not of it!





January 2011 - International corporate volunteer assignments

A period of time spent on assignment as an international corporate volunteer (V.I.E.) is an excellent first professional experience for young graduates and a great opportunity for finding out about our international operations. At the present moment, there are 128 people with posts in the Group under this system.
With a"placement rate" of 85%, the V.I.E. scheme provides a springboard to a future job. It makes sense to look for a return on the investment that has been made in these young people over a period of up to 18 months. Know-how acquired, experience of working abroad and knowledge of the company are all elements that allow line managers or human resources managers to recruit with confidence. The young recruits have had the time to become familiar with the company's practices, its culture and its values, and can thus envisage starting their careers in a Group offering a range of opportunities.
