VIE Program - Air Liquide

HEARING FROM PAST VIE PARTICIPANTS
VIE Program
Company Discovery Program
VIE mission
(Céline, Japan)
«In 2009, after graduating with a degree in Process
Engineering and an additional year of project management,
I wanted a change of scenery: professionally, culturally
and humanly. At the beginning, my job was to deploy
the Group’s IMS (Industrial Management System) locally.
Working with department heads, I did a study for each
business, devised an appropriate action plan and set up
internal and external audits. Professionally, this was an
exceptional experience that ended with a full-time job at
Air Liquide’s head office as the coordinator of projects
seeking to optimize the cost of equipment and products.»
Why choose a VIE?
(Gauvain, Morocco)
“I was looking for challenges and did not want to remain in
France. A VIE offer at Air Liquide was just the springboard
I was looking for and after six months in Morocco, I am
absolutely satisfied with the opportunity that was given
to me and with the kind of projects I am being asked to
do. I am in contact with the Group’s subsidiaries that fall
within our procurement scope, and my work gives me
the opportunity to be an active contributor to AL Maroc
targets. But more than anything else, I am learning every
day how to adapt to a way of living and thinking that are
different from mine.»
