At ETF, we consider professional integration to be a given: because our professions are passed on in the field and because a company rooted in the local area must be a player in its economic and social development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this new issue of \u2018Aiguillage\u2019, we take you to the heart of our integration initiatives through concrete examples and testimonials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Choosing to engage in integration is an opportunity, not a constraint.<\/strong><\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“<\/strong>We have chosen to view inclusion clauses not as a regulatory constraint to be applied in a rigid manner, but as a real opportunity. An opportunity for recruitment, knowledge transfer and the creation of useful career paths. The idea is to do things constructively, with training programmes that lead to qualifications or even certification, to enable people who are distant from the job market to find their place, and for us to benefit from new skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a tight job market, there is everything to gain from seeking out candidates who would not have approached us spontaneously. They can sometimes be unexpected sources of talent, with highly motivated individuals who are eager to learn and get involved. When given the opportunity, they seize it. And when we manage to integrate them into the company on a long-term basis, it is nothing but beneficial for the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a virtuous, win-win approach: for the people we support, for our teams, and even for our partners, because it also gives meaning to our joint projects. Working together, in partnership with our clients and local stakeholders, is the best way to make integration a concrete action, and not just a box to tick. “<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Integration at ETF, from the field to success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each project represents much more than just the construction of railway infrastructure. It is an opportunity to build sustainable, inclusive and meaningful career paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Lun\u00e9ville\u2013Sarrebourg line, which was recently renovated at an unprecedented pace (more than 50 kilometres of track in six weeks), human commitment was as important as technical performance. Prior to the project, five people on integration programmes were trained at our ETF Academy centre before joining the reinforcement teams. Accompanied in the field, they actively participated in track clearance operations (up to 1,200 metres per night), demonstrating that the demand for results and social commitment can go hand in hand. This project embodies ETF’s ambition: to combine infrastructure modernisation and local development in the service of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
