Experience the VIE at TotalEnergies!
How about discovering the world? Nearly 290 young French and European graduates, with an average age of 25, are on a Volontariat International Entreprise (VIE) program at TotalEnergies. 80 subsidiaries in 40 countries are mobilized to welcome them, generally for 18 months. And all our professions are open to them! On site, we put you in an operational situation, with responsibilities, within our local teams. The program, in force within the company since 2002, has benefited more than 4,000 young graduates.
Make the difference with our Graduate Programs
Our Graduate Programs in engineering, business and finance offer a unique opportunity to experience a variety of careers, learn quickly and develop an in-depth understanding of the business. Over a period of 18 to 30 months, graduates are given a number of responsible assignments that enable them to experience operational and managerial functions, while acquiring international experience. This is an opportunity to integrate multicultural teams, work on global projects and develop a network. In short, a 360-degree first experience that will accelerate your career!
Scholarships for international students
The Exploration & Production segment’s international scholarship programs contribute both to the promotion of French higher education around the world and to the development of the skills of students from host countries. The beneficiaries of international scholarships, selected in their country of origin by the TotalEnergies subsidiary concerned, join multi-year academic programs in France, from bachelor level to PhD in highly diverse fields of study.
In 2024, we financed and supported 136 scholarship students from 10 different countries (Angola, Azerbaijan, Congo,EAU, Iraq, Mozambique, Nigeria, Uganda, Rwanda, Sao Tome, etc.).

Our goal? To actively involve you in the transition
We encourage frank, direct communication with students in order to share our vision of the common good, challenges to be met, and realistic and positive changes to make. We provide many arenas for discussion so that you can understand us better, without the familiar stereotypes. Your voice is important. This is why we are building relationships with schools and universities throughout the world: to get to know you and to show who we are. Forums, round tables and workshops provide opportunities for transparent discussions with our employees, to learn about our jobs and projects, and our HR policies. This is the best way for you to make informed choices.
You’re welcome to visit our sites!
Every year students visit our offices, industrial facilities, construction projects, solar plants, refineries and laboratories. We also encourage you to take part in our scientific projects as part of your educational curriculum, addressing future-facing subjects such as CCS or hydrogen.
