The Group is committed to gender equality when it comes to salaries and promotions. Our overall score on the French government’s gender equality index is 87 points out of 100, well above the regulatory threshold of 75 points.

Employee ambassadors work with students to familiarize them with the Group and its activities. We have been ranked in the top three most popular manufacturing company among engineering students and graduates, according to an Epoka/Harris Interactive survey.
Passing on our technical know-how
For more than thirty years, the Dassault Conservatory has been supplementing initial training with courses designed to pass on our technical know-how and our standards of quality, excellence and adaptability.
The majority of our production facilities have established cooperative ventures with local professional training centers, most notably in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Hauts-de-France and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions of France.
In India, our presence has led to the development of Networks of Excellence that bring together Indian and French engineering schools, as well as the rapid development of the Dassault Skill Academy, which provides professional training.
