A policy promoting job insertion and equal opportunity
We are a public service company that is socially responsible and caring. Over the years, our voluntarism has not waned and we continue to support the sustainable integration of youth in employment, including job insertion and work experience programmes (professionalization and apprenticeship contracts).
As part of our professionalization contracts, we propose two types of work experience training programmes:
- Qualification training allows you to acquire vocational qualification for an “operator” profession: metro or RER station agent, bus driver, track layer, etc.
- Degree training enables you to obtain a diploma: CAP, Bac Pro, BTS, DUT, Licence pro, Engineering diploma, Masters and the post-graduate Mastère Spécialisé (MS).
These training programmes are conducted under short-term contracts (from 6 to 24 months) with the place of work designated as the Île-de-France region.
As part of our apprenticeship contracts, our apprentices study at the CFA apprentice training centre. The duration of their contract or apprenticeship depends on the job title or degree they are working towards. It can vary between 1 and 3 years.
Lastly, special CAE job contracts (contrats d’accompagnement dans l’emploi) are designed to provide lasting social insertion by means of either a mission, access to training or, where appropriate, employment via the development of a professional project.
Our policy of promoting work experience training programmes is based on the transfer of knowledge and skills between generations.
In partnership with schools, we take actions aimed at making our job opportunities and projects visible to both middle and high school students at a key moment in their scholastic orientation, as well as to students throughout their course of study to attract new talent.
Through these actions, we intend to show our determination to make our career opportunities in public transport a factor in the integration and development of urban solidarity, by fostering intergenerational bonds.
Attached to diversity
Through our business and the communities we serve, we are a vector of communication and dialogue with all of our passengers.
In terms of diversity, we take actions to increase the number of women on our teams, to diversify our job profiles, to integrate persons with disabilities, and to develop actions geared towards young people.
Consequently, we offer our future employees access to a wide variety of professions that are open to anyone who wishes to join us.
Convinced that a greater number of women in the workplace and diversity are key performance factors, in our 4th agreement in favour of gender equality in the workplace and wage equality we have committed ourselves to significantly increasing the percentage of women in our work force. To promote the role of women in our sector of activity, which is more spontaneously associated with a man’s world, we encourage women to apply for all of our job openings, including technical jobs, whether in operations, maintenance, engineering or support functions.
We have also signed an agreement in favour of employing persons with disabilities. In this way, we continue to implement job insertion measures that enable persons with disabilities to access employment. We are developing awareness campaigns in the professional environment on the theme of disabilities in the workplace, in order to facilitate the integration of persons with disabilities in our teams.
Lastly, we are strengthening our partnerships and our use of service providers that employ persons with disabilities.
Opportunities to develop your skills throughout your career
While recruiting and attracting motivated personnel and young talent is one of our priorities, retaining our employees is also an issue. In this respect, we have set up dynamic policies to promote skills development, rich and varied career paths, including the possibility of changing lines of business, and social advancement.
At RATP, we do not recruit staff only on the basis of a position to be filled, but also with a career path in mind, one that responds to the challenges of the Group’s development while meeting the aspirations of our employees.
Thanks to a substantial investment in training and individualised career support for our staff, we enable our employees to acquire and develop skills, and to strengthen their motivation throughout the course of their professional life.
Internships let you discover our career opportunities and let us identify your talent
Key figure
Our internship policy creates a win-win situation: for you, it’s the opportunity to acquire new perspectives on your vocational education or to validate your engineering curriculum; for us, it’s the chance to pre-recruit you as an employee.
The internship will allow you to discover what goes on behind-the-scenes, learn about the challenges we face, meet our employees, and find out more about the variety of career opportunities we offer. We propose internships ranging from one week to 6 months.
To allow you to enrich your theoretical knowledge and put it into practice, we make sure the internships we propose match your educational background and training. A tutor will accompany you throughout your internship and facilitate your integration within our teams.
Our employees will do all they can to ensure that your experience with our company plays a key role in the construction of your professional project.
In 2016, we favoured internships for female students in grade 9 and higher with a programme to discover our career opportunities.
