Partner with Fondation CGénial since 2006, Arkema supports the association's four main initiatives:

  • “Engineers and technicians in the classeroom”,
  • “In-house teachers”,
  • "CGénial Competition”,
  • Yes We Code!

Engineers and technicians in the classeroom

This initiative enables Arkema's volunteer employees to meet with middle and high school students and share their experiences. Every year, more than 2,000 students learn about our businesses and the careers of our employees.

It's a unique and exciting experience that helps us to develop our exchanges with local schools and attract young people to the scientific, technical and industrial professions.

80,000

This is the number of high school students who have already benefited from the “Engineers and technicians in the classroom” scheme.

In-house teachers

As part of this program, middle and high school teachers visit our sites to learn about our businesses and career opportunities, as well as new technologies and working methods, to give students concrete examples from the professional world.

To date, we have welcomed nearly 500 teachers and executives from the French Ministry of Education at 18 of our sites in France.

I wasn't expecting such a high-quality visit. I appreciated everything, from the quality of the discussions, the people I met, the factory, the links I'll be able to reinvest in my classroom, the concrete applications to my subject and the fact that the place of women in this branch of industry was highlighted."

The CGénial competition

Each year, a national competition is organized, enabling secondary school students to present a project related to scientific and technical disciplines.

In 2023, nearly 7,500 middle and high school students submitted more than 360 projects.

Yes we code!

This program, dedicated to raising awareness of digital science, enables young people aged 10 to 17 to design digital projects and devices.

Since the start of the 2021 school year, Arkema's Saint-Auban site has been supporting a class from the Maison Familiale Rurale (MFR) in carrying out connected projects and discovering digital-related professions on our site.
