> Career development
Thales places career development at the heart of its Human Resources policy, because our success relies on the ability of our people to grow and experience new things, through geographic or functional mobility.
In order to encourage movement and support everyone's aspirations, we have created a broad and diversified training offer at the key turning points along your career path - creating real bridges between the various career families and businesses within the Group.
We offer training programmes adapted to your individual needs, opportunities for career progression, interesting and challenging work in a pleasant environment and an appropriate work-life balance.
Our mobility policy enables 5,000 employees each year to develop their careers at home and abroad, in their existing areas of expertise or by branching out into new fields. Employees can progress by following either management or technical career paths.
Our training and development is primarily managed through the corporate training facility, Thales Université, which provides a range of technical and management programmes, suitable for all levels of experience. All managers meet regularly with individual team members to review their career aspirations and development prospects.
We believe that teamwork is a key factor in career development and encourage cooperation between all of our employees. Thales has created a number of professional networks common to the entire Group, through which our experts the world over can share their experiences and exchange points of view.
To encourage personal innovation and success, we ensure that our employees enjoy considerable autonomy and flexibility in the organisation of their work. Moreover, Thales awards an annual company prize to the most innovative projects carried out by its people.
