FRENCH CONNECTION

TPS has links with ENTPE (Ecole National des Travaux Publics de l’Etat), the leading transport planning school in France and one of the prestigious Grandes Ecoles. The school offers high calibre students and graduates for work placements and longer-term employment.

The students from ENTPE are of a very high calibre. Their 3-year course combines transport and planning, so they have a rounded understanding. Entry requirements to the school are stringent, including an intensive 2-year post-Baccalauréat preparatory course (organised by the state) and fluency in English. To give you a flavour of their capabilities, this is what some managers who have previously employed ENTPE students in the UK or Ireland said about them :

“Her ability to readily adapt to any situation proved a pleasure for her manager”

“….. motivated, bright and engaged. In many cases ENTPE students have proved themselves capable of producing work of high commercial value, under relatively minimal supervision”

“ ….. a very positive and proactive attitude, keen to get involved in variety of work, able to work independently on specific tasks and always presented herself very professionally”

“She is keen to understand how tasks she is undertaking and her involvement fit into the overall project completion, showing interest and passion for the subject.”

We are sure that these are the qualities you would like to have in your own team!

If you would be interested in engaging with ENTPE, please click here for further information. If you wish to make known a possible work placement or employment opportunity, a website is given where an offer can be advertised. That website is in French but it will be perfectly satisfactory to post all details in English.
