Alstom, a worldwide leader in innovative and eco-friendly transportation solutions, has established a partnership with the Foundation et Alumni de Polytechnique Montréal through its Corporate Talent Attraction Program.
This three-year partnership, valued at $100,000, is designed to nurture talent development by awarding three scholarships annually to undergraduate and graduate students at Polytechnique Montréal. The scholarships are divided into two categories: one celebrating women’s excellence and the other honoring community involvement. Moreover, this collaboration will deepen the connection between Alstom and the academic community, with Alstom engaging in student events, collaborating with student organizations, and supporting technical societies that emphasize mobility.
“Alstom is anchored in the Montreal community and throughout Quebec,” affirms Michael Keroullé, President Alstom Americas. “With nearly 700 engineers in Quebec, Alstom is proud to invest in the development of the next generation, and in particular to help attract more women to the careers in engineering. With climate change, urbanization and population growth, complex public transportation projects are increasingly important. It is essential to prepare the next generation. This agreement will allow us to help Polytechnique Montréal students strive for excellence and social commitment, and prepare the leaders of tomorrow.”
“Our Talent Attraction Program allows companies to support the academic career of our student community through scholarships and direct support to particularly dynamic student committees and technical societies at Polytechnique Montréal. Thanks to Alstom’s contribution, a greater number of students will have the chance to have a more enriching student experience. I would like to thank Alstom for its renewed confidence and commitment to the next generation of engineers.” Isabelle Péan, President and CEO of the Foundation et Alumni de Polytechnique Montréal.
“We are delighted to count Alstom among our partners. This new contribution strengthens the link between our university and the rail sector which is essential to meeting the challenge of transport sustainability. I am happy that our student community has the opportunity to become even more aware of sustainable transport and discover this promising sector for the future of our society.” Maud Cohen, General Director of Polytechnique Montréal.
Alstom stands as a global pioneer in sustainable mobility innovations, employing over 2,100 individuals in Quebec. The company’s Americas headquarters are situated in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Quebec. Alstom delivers a broad range of solutions, including rolling stock, signaling, operation and maintenance services, infrastructure, and turnkey systems. Notably, it contributes to Montreal’s Réseau express métropolitain project and services for the Société de transport de Montréal and exo, extending its expertise to major cities and rail networks across Canada.
