Junior Transformation Project Manager, Avril Solutions for Agriculture, winner of the challenge' second edition

"This challenge is a unique opportunity at the beginning of your working life. It helped me understand the Avril organization as a whole and gain valuable knowledge about a CEO’s responsibilities and day-to-day decisions. To sum up my experience in 3 key words, I'd say inspiring, rewarding and motivating."

Youth EXCOM: giving young people a voice

Join an EXCOM before you’re 35? Why not? We believe young people bring a lot to our collective. This think tank is made up of around twenty employees under 35 years of age from all functions and sectors of the Group. This committee meets regularly for two years to reflect and work on all the Group’s issues through the prism of the younger generation. What if it were you tomorrow?

Our professionals support you

Every year, the Group’s HR teams and employees actively welcome around 200 interns and work-study students, providing each of them with the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice and maximize their chances of success.

“Avril Student Day” is an annual event where you can talk directly to the Group’s Executive Committee and find out about Avril’s history, ambitions and projects. Sharing experiences like this sometimes paves the way to new ways of thinking.

At the end of your time with us, the “A springboard for your job” day lets you take advantage of hands-on workshops and testimonials led by Group experts, which provide you with the keys to approach the rest of your career with confidence, hopefully at Avril!
