Press release
23 December 2024After 15 months of studies and cooperation, VINCI Construction Grands Projects will be launching its management of major projects training course, baptised "Team Grands Projets" in the first quarter of 2008.
The training program, put forward by President Pierre Berger, was developed in partnership with Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (ENPC) and an in-house working group. This training initiative is aligned with the planned management of employment and skills. It is also a response to the strong growth that VINCI Construction has experienced since 2000 and its involvement in increasingly complex projects. It will also help the company manage more effectively its participation in a growing number of business lines and diverse mandates such as waterworks, roadwork, and building construction.
The guiding principle of the training program is an alliance between internal and external skills. Most of the raw materials is provided by employees of the company with an emphasis on practical cases: “concession-construction-maintenance” mandates; industrial assignments with project piloting; multidisciplinary assignments with or without project piloting; and major building construction.
The training is designed for worksite managers, technical directors, construction managers, materials managers, administrative and finance directors, young project directors, and high-potential site engineers.
The aim of the training is to encourage an open mind and greater awareness of the challenges and risks intrinsic to major projects – and to accelerate their career development. Delivered over a four-month period, the training cycle (3 x 1 week) gives trainees an opportunity to stay operational and quickly put into practice their new knowledge and skills.
