Top 25 Best French Companies for internships or apprenticeships

"92.5% of respondents recommend Hager Group for internships or apprenticeships."

For the third consecutive year, Hager Group is featured in the rankings and holds the 24th position in the

French HappyIndex Trainees in the category of 100-199 interns and apprentices. For this index, students

evaluate the company that hosts them.

"Every year, Hager Group welcomes around 300 new interns and apprentices, including 150 in France across all

our business sectors," says Céline Friedrich, Talent Development Manager at Hager Group. "The world of work

is evolving, and the expectations of the new generations towards the company have changed. Therefore,

student feedback is crucial for us to improve and continue offering an experience with high added value for

their personal and professional development. This recognition shows that we are on the right track," concludes

Céline Friedrich.

This reputation survey, HappyIndex Trainees, conducted by choosemycompany.com, aims to shed light on the

reality of the experiences of interns and apprentices. Six criteria are taken into account: professional

progression, work environment, management, motivation, pride, fun, and pleasure. "This survey allows us to

gather valuable and numerous authentic feedback on the experience of the Generation Z (Gen Z) as they enter

the workforce. Several development areas have been identified, and some actions have already been

implemented: enhancement of the internship compensation grid, customization of internship job descriptions

with a 'Gen Z' focus, reinforced awareness among tutors regarding their expectations... And this is just the

beginning to ensure our attractiveness to the talents of tomorrow," testify Fiona Petit and Mathilde Paillart,

Recruitment Specialists – interns & apprentices.

The possible beginning of a beautiful story.

The adventure sometimes continues beyond the framework of the internship or apprenticeship. A recent

graduate of an engineering school, Thibaut, chose to continue his journey and start his first job with us in the

Engineering department after completing his apprenticeship in our Digital & Information team: "As an intern, I

was very well supported and could learn a lot through my real tasks, my mentor, and the teams passionate

about their missions." He confides: "I wanted to stay at Hager Group because the work environment is both

stimulating and caring, with managers who are attentive. I could change departments and tasks without

difficulty. I was trusted right away in a job very different from my apprenticeship." Many similar success stories

have been built over the years.

Thanks to the 93 interns & apprentices who participated in this wonderful recognition, to all our HR teams, to

our tutors and managers for their daily commitment.
