Young participants from the Becomtech association gain insight into digital careers with RATP Group experts

For the fifth consecutive year, the Fondation Groupe RATP hosted participants from the Créteil cohort of Becomtech’s Jump In Tech programme for an afternoon of exchanges with RATP Group professionals specialising in digital technologies, information systems and cybersecurity.

Led by the association Becomtech, this programme introduces teenage girls, most of whom come from priority urban neighbourhoods (QPV/REP+), to the fundamentals of digital technologies and computer programming through four weeks of intensive training during the summer.

To help broaden these young women's educational and career aspirations, the Jump In Tech programme also includes visits to companies, where participants meet professionals and discover careers, career paths and workplace tools related to the digital sector.

The programme for the 16 participants included :

  • A guided tour of the Maison de la RATP, including workspaces, the gym and the Workcafé.

  • An introduction to the Information Systems Department (ISD) and its various teams, delivered by RATP Group employees.

  • A demonstration of SEM'ALAIN, a generative AI tool developed to help RATP frontline staff provide passengers with the most relevant information and guidance across the network.

  • Interviews with female employees conducted by the programme participants.

  • Discussions and experience-sharing sessions between professionals and the young participants.

For the past five years, the Fondation Groupe RATP has supported BECOMTECH through its Jump In Tech and Together In Tech programmes, which help young women discover digital career pathways and encourage them to pursue education and careers in the tech sector with confidence.

To provide the most meaningful and practical support possible, the Foundation regularly mobilises employees specialising in digital and technology-related professions. By meeting these professionals, participants gain exposure to inspiring career journeys, find it easier to envision their own professional future and broaden their horizons when considering the opportunities available to them.
