Investing in Employees' Professional Journey

In today's rapidly evolving world, career growth is not just a destination but a journey that requires continuous learning and development. Recognising this, Bouygues Energies & Services has established itself as a champion of career advancement through its comprehensive and flexible Learning and Development programmes. Laura Frames, the Learning and Development Manager at Bouygues Energies & Services, sheds light on the diverse opportunities that empower employees to navigate their professional pathways.

A Spectrum of Learning Opportunities

The Learning and Development team at Bouygues Energies & Services takes pride in offering a vast array of learning opportunities designed to cater to individuals at every stage of their careers. From those who are just beginning their journeys to individuals in technical, leadership, and management roles, the company ensures that everyone has access to effective learning solutions.
Laura Frames emphasises the team's breadth of expertise, which encompasses a wide range of areas, including early-career development, technical leadership, management skills, and digital learning solutions. This ensures that employees receive guidance and resources that align with their specific aspirations and requirements.

Embracing a Holistic Learning Model

Bouygues Energies & Services champions a holistic learning approach that encourages employees to diversify their learning experiences. Known as the 70/20/10 model, this approach recognises that learning encompasses a combination of formal education, learning from peers, mentors, and coaches, and learning through hands-on experiences.

The model breaks down as follows:

10% from formal learning, including classroom courses and e-learning.
20% from learning through interactions with others, such as peer-to-peer learning, coaching, and mentoring.
70% from learning by doing, particularly in the context of day-to-day job responsibilities.

This multifaceted approach not only ensures a well-rounded development experience but also promotes active engagement and application of knowledge and skills in real-world scenarios.

Digital Learning for Modern Demands

In the digital age, just-in-time learning has become a cornerstone of skill development. Bouygues Energies & Services embraces this concept by offering a robust digital learning platform, hosted on their internal learning management system. This platform houses a curated selection of digital courses, catering to a wide range of skill areas.
In addition, employees have access to LinkedIn Learning, an external platform focused on skill-building. This platform offers targeted, expert-led courses and videos that empower employees to enhance their business, people, and IT skills in response to current challenges or skill gaps.

Pathways for Every Level

Bouygues Energies & Services believes in providing avenues for growth at all career stages. For those embarking on their careers, the company's apprenticeship scheme offers a unique opportunity to learn while earning. This programme not only imparts practical experience but also equips participants with industry-recognised qualifications that can be directly applied in the workplace.

Moreover, the company's graduate scheme facilitates the development of engineers and leaders of tomorrow. Through a structured framework of on-the-job and off-the-job learning, graduates gain valuable insights and experiences, fostering a culture of knowledge-sharing and mutual growth.

Excellence Recognised

Bouygues Energies & Services' commitment to fostering career development and progression has garnered external recognition. The company proudly boasts three Princess Royal training awards, a prestigious accolade within the learning and development field. These awards underscore the effectiveness of the company's internally developed programmes and the impact they have on employees' growth.

Empowering Managers for Enhanced Development

Recognising the pivotal role of line managers in fostering employee growth, the Core Management Academy was established. This initiative focuses on equipping managers with the skills, knowledge, and processes necessary for cultivating a culture of learning and advancement.
