French-based Vinci Construction yesterday signed a two-year agreement with the Polytechnic University of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.

This partnership relates to the Buildings & Energy speciality option with very specific training on the use of the new design and construction technologies to enhance the energy efficiency of buildings.

For Vietnam as well as the whole of South-East Asia, this is a major issue in the context controlling greenhouse gas emissions has become an imperative demand and fossil fuel resources are increasingly in short supply.

Vinci Construction's subsidiaries in Vietnam, including Structure Vietnam, Bachy Soletanche Vietnam, Freyssinet Vietnam, Vinci Construction Grands Projets and Campenon, will offer internships and practical courses on their sites to students from the Polytechnic University of Ho Chi Minh City.

As the Polytechnic University of Ho Chi Minh City has already established partnerships with two French engineering colleges- INSA Lyon and Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, Vinci Construction will also take on two Vietnamese students as interns, and they will complete part of their courses in those two colleges in France.

VINCI Construction is France's leading construction company and a major global player, with more than 830 companies employing nearly 69,000 people in some 100 countries.
