This online recruitment day was announced by the Career Centers of JobTeaser's 350 partner schools in Europe from January. It brought together around 50 Veolia employees; candidates were able to meet 23 recruiters at stands representing five different business lines: engineering, operational engineering, support functions (finance, HR, legal, purchasing and communications), digital and IT, and sales and marketing. Over 450 young people attended five conferences over the day and were able to talk to Veolia experts about varied topics such as women in industry, innovation in Veolia's businesses, giving meaning to your job and the Group's schemes for young people, as well as the digital transformation, industry 4.0 and artificial and digital intelligence. The Young Talent Sourcingteam looks back on these discussions.
Working in industry: not just for men! Equal careers for men and women at Veolia
Working at Veolia means joining a community where everyone can find an exciting business, meaning in their role, engagement to a rewarding collective approach and personal fulfilment through equal careers for men and women.
Veolia's ambition is to become the champion of ecological transformation and the Group's purpose reminds us that gender equality is one of its multifaceted performance objectives: it aims for women to make up 25% of senior management by 2023, with one out of every two appointments being a woman, and a target of recruiting 35% women in manager roles. Three thousand employees are committed to professional equality in our WEDO gender equality network and the WIL (Women in Leadership) program coaches high-potential women. Veolia is also partnering with 'Elles bougent', which introduces more than 2,000 middle and high school girls to the Group's businesses each year , explained Isabelle Hellio, Director of Social Innovation and Diversity, Group HRD.
As patron of "Elles bougent", I want to encourage girls and raise boys' awareness of gender equality. I also take on schoolgirls for job shadowing work placements in the engineering professions during their third year of secondary school,, said Gholamifard Shabnam, a Business Development Manager and a doctor in process engineering, who is now in charge of battery recycling issues at the Group.
As a member and organizer of Wedo in the Middle East, I manage a waste and recycled water management unit in the Sultanate of Oman with 330 employees of 21 nationalities, 8% of whom are women. I adapted very quickly to the culture in the Middle East, which has never been a problem for me because I give it proper consideration,added Hélène Coulon, General Manager of Moalajah in the United Arab Emirates and an agricultural engineer.
