International Experience at the Heart of Transdev Group

Launched in 2024, the Short-Term Assignment (STA) is a form of international mobility, lasting between 2 weeks and 12 months, at another Transdev Group entity abroad. At the end of the STA, the employee returns to their original position.

The STA is a valuable tool for short-term mobility, created and designed by the Group to foster the development of its employees. It serves both to meet local operational needs (by providing skills and expertise) and to support talent development within the Group.

The top three sending countries are France, Germany, and the Corporate division, while the top three host countries are the Corporate division, Morocco, and Sweden.

There are two main approaches to Short-Term Assignments:

• Talent-development-focused STAs, which aim to support employee development. These can be carried out as personalized development initiatives or as part of development programs, such as On the Launch Pad (OTLP)
• Operational-needs-oriented STA, which aims to meet the operational needs of the Group’s countries by mobilizing employees who share their skills, provide specific expertise, and contribute to projects or assignments at the request of Transdev countries.

The International Corporate Volunteer Program (VIE) is fully administered by Business France, an agency of the Ministry of the Economy and Finance. There are currently more than 10,000 VIE participants working at French companies around the world.

At Transdev, the VIE program is a path to excellence that offers the opportunity to grow and contribute to the Group’s expansion. A VIE is an early-career employee who carries out an international operational assignment (typically lasting 24 months). It is an immersive, professional-development experience that is firmly focused on the future.

For the Group, the VIE program serves as a talent pool, with participants typically having 3 to 5 years of experience. Operations & Maintenance is projected to be the top department for VIE assignments in 2025.

• Attract, develop, and retain high-potential candidates who align with the Group’s culture and values and are ready to grow
• Build an international talent pool for future hiring by transitioning VIE participants into permanent positions
• Offer rich and diverse employee experiences—both culturally and operationally—to support participants’ career goals.

To this end, dedicated career support is integrated into the program. This program, called “Shape Your Way,” aims to help VIE participants formalize a career plan at Transdev by following a clear and practical methodology.
