Female mentoring at Bouygues TP : New promotion!

On 30 May, the new edition of the mentoring programme for female employees of Bouygues Travaux Publics and its subsidiaries was launched. The mentor/mentee pairs for this 5th promotion were unveiled on a day dedicated to gender diversity.

For the 5th consecutive year, 15 female employees from Bouygues Travaux Publics, Bouygues Construction Expertises Nucléaires and Bouygues Travaux Publics Régions France will be mentored by senior managers. These mentors will be keen to share their experience and provide them with support and advice to help them develop their careers.

On the agenda: discussions, meetings and a host of inspiring testimonials in the presence of mentors and mentees from previous promotions.

For me, it's been a wonderful human adventure, a wonderful encounter with my mentor. A relationship based on confidence and confidentiality, a relationship of mutual help, exchange and learning. This programme has enabled me to dare to act differently.
Melissa Solano Mentee promotion 3

Very humbly, I want to share my experience, be a "mirror" and help my mentee to see things better, to see and know herself better. All the resources available to women to help them develop their careers are very important. We need to give them the confidence they need to take the time to reflect on their career path, and this mentoring programme for women is an excellent way of doing that.

The 15 new Mentee/Mentor teams got to know each other and benefited from their coaches' first tips and advice as they embarked on this human and professional adventure.
