Welcome to your Corporate University

Thales Université - Jouy-en-Josas (France)

Thales Université, Sharing knowledge and transforming Thales

Not only is Thales Université a centre for learning, but it also welcomes employees, assists them with career development, and ensures collective practices are developed and applied and a Group culture is created. In this way Thales Université enables the Group to prepare and build for the future and to adapt itself to tomorrow's business market. Its mission, shaped by an international board and an Advisory Council, is to be a Centre of Excellence for sharing knowledge, transforming Thales at the heart of the organisation.

Thales Université: Promoting training within the Group

The University works with the Group companies in order to build more efficient training strategies. Training programme design teams consisting of Thales Group trainers and associated Professors work together to deliver customised, dedicated courses for Thales employees. As Yves Barou, Senior Vice President - Human Resources, and Chairman of Thales Université said: "Training has to be seen as an investment, either to access and facilitate individual career paths, or to deploy Thales' key projects: TU is there to drive and promote training within the Group".

Customized training programmes for the Divisions

Working with its strategy and consulting departments, the University develops a range of customized training programmes and consulting solutions in order to help the Group Units achieve their aims and manage change and development.

A Global University

As Thales becomes more international, so does the University. With existing sites in France (Jouy-en-Josas), Crawley (UK) and a third site representing Northern Europe in the Netherlands (Hengelo), three further sites will be opened in Germany (Stuttgart), in Italy (Rome) and in the USA (Washington DC). Training courses are also run onsite for Thales companies around the world, for example in South Africa, and Australia.
