TotalEnergies Learning Solutions: making learning appeal

  • Since 2017, TotalEnergies Learning Solutions (TLS) has been orchestrating the Company’s training policy with 129 members of staff working on four strategic sites: Pau, Paris, Dunkirk and Marseilles.
  • In the training center in Pau, nestled at the heart of the CSTFJ site in the Béarn region, a team of around fifteen people is devoted to the design and implementation of training courses in technical professions pertaining to the new challenges of decarbonization and renewable energies.
  • The core of this approach is a training-model focused on "growing by doing", which aims to make members of staff proactive drivers of their own development. It is based on both continuous training and learning in the field, among peers.


With its affiliate, TLS, the Company has made training a mainstay of its strategy, to support the development of long-standing professions while guiding the teams toward the new challenges of decarbonization and renewable energies.

Since 2023, members of staff can sign up for a training course of their choice, three days per year, in the sectors that they consider important to their career development. These courses are a complement to the mandatory programs (Safety, Compliance, Ethics), our major group programs and the training courses required for doing a given job.

Allowing staff to drive their own career development is the ambition put forward by TotalEnergies through its proactive training policy. Training has become a factor that fosters individual commitment, to make a personal contribution to a change in culture toward a new multi-energies mix. To grow this commitment, the teams at TLS endeavor to develop customized training modules that put learners at the heart of the action, particularly when it comes to interactive formats, or real or virtual immersion.

The 1,700 training courses available in the Company catalog emphasize the development of a broad spectrum of competencies and the understanding of environmental and societal challenges. The "Visa for TotalEnergies" program trained 30,000 staff members in climate change challenges, with modules dedicated to the climate, biodiversity and the sustainable energy mix. Training courses on electric mobility have also been developed in the Company to support the teams in their challenges to electrify vehicle fleets.

 

Staff from all over the world come to train in Pau

Every year on the Pau site, hundreds of members of staff from all over the world receive training in a range of different subjects: health and safety at work, coaching, management, personal development, technical professions, etc. Historically training courses are given on piping, geosciences, drilling operations, and more operational aspects such as commissioning. To design and implement such highly-technical training courses, the TLS team in Pau calls on the OneTech branch, which holds true scientific and technical expertise, combined with knowledge of the field across the entire energy spectrum. External partnerships have also been forged, notably with the French Petroleum Institute (IFP), vial the Alliancefortraining brand, to offer operational staff training programs that cover the entire range of competencies required for the operation, safety and maintenance of industrial sites, i.e. refineries, offshore facilities, petrochemical plants, etc.

Through a continuous learning model and tailored training courses, TotalEnergies supports its staff in their career development in the different regions. In keeping with these objectives, the TLS teams in Pau develop customized training courses that enable staff to deepen their knowledge of strategic sectors and encourage cross-functional careers, to meet the new requirements of the energy markets.
