Career development
The institute offers opportunities for promotion and internal mobility: For example, an employee was given the opportunity to move up within the Equipment and Logistics Purchasing Department, from Warehouse Receiver to Buyer's Assistant. The HR department was able to support him in the process of obtaining certification for this profession. Today, he has all the skills required for the job, and feels fully fulfilled as a buyer's assistant.
Other employees were able to move from a scientific research team (post-doc), to jobs within our platforms (engineer or bio-informatics)
Testimony of Laurine LENOIR, Head of the Organization, Quality and Risk Management (ROQ) division
“I joined the Brain Institute in 2019 as a Project Assistant on a 2-year professionalization contract. My mission was to participate in the development of the quality system, the management of cross-functional projects as well as the creation of risk mapping at the Institute. At the end of my work-study program, I was able to sign a permanent contract as Project Manager, and was then offered the opportunity to become Head of the ROQ department in 2022. Today, I manage a Project Assistant and a Quality Engineer.” “The work, meeting good mentors at the Institute, and the opportunities, have enabled me to progress directly into a position of responsibility, which has boosted my career!”
« Le travail, la rencontre de bons mentors à l'Institut, et les opportunités, m'ont permis d'évoluer directement sur un poste à responsabilités, ce qui a boosté ma carrière ! »
