On 13 and 14 March 2026, students in the Ambassadors Program run by IMT and the Mines-Télécom Foundation came together at the Maison de la RATP and then on the Télécom Paris campus for their second training weekend.
This key milestone gave them an opportunity to continue their preparation, share their first experiences speaking in middle and high schools, and strengthen their commitment to increasing the number of women in engineering careers.
A weekend shaped by discussion and feedback
Stéphane Heitz, Director of the Mines-Télécom Foundation, opened the weekend with a welcome address.
Over the two days, the Ambassadors took part in several workshops designed to help them identify their strengths, refine their approach and build their confidence in school settings.
Feedback sessions played a central role, giving everyone the opportunity to share their first field experiences and improve their practices through collective learning.
A workshop built around the game “Engineer: Why not me?“ completed the program, offering a playful way to challenge perceptions about scientific studies and careers.
A program built on mentoring and sharing
The weekend also featured discussion sessions with women engineer sponsors from the program’s partner companies, who came to share their career paths and answer the Ambassadors’ questions.
These exchanges fully reflect the mentoring dynamic at the heart of the program and highlight the importance of role models in encouraging future vocations in engineering.
Many thanks to the program’s sponsors for their presence, support and commitment.
A collective commitment to increasing the number of women in science and engineering
Led by IMT and the Mines-Télécom Foundation, the Ambassadors Program is part of a broader commitment to equal opportunity and diversity in scientific careers.
Through their work in schools, the Ambassadors actively help break down stereotypes and inspire young girls to consider careers in science and engineering.
Congratulations to all the Ambassadors from the 2025–2026 cohort for their commitment, energy and dedication.
