THE V.I.E PROGRAMME
“ I wanted to travel - and found a new job as a bonus ”A professional and personal adventure
The choice is there. And it isn’t an easy one. For students or recent graduates, the call to travel is urgent, but so is the desire to start their career once and for all. But what if you could do both?
The International Corporate Volunteer program, or V.I.E (Volontariat International en Entreprise), is your chance to embark upon an adventure, both personal and professional in equal measure, and discover a profession in a new country.
The Societe Generale Group is one of the French companies offering the most V.I.Es. Like Flora, Caroline, and many more, join our teams in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong… There’s a destination for every ambition!
The best path towards a permanent contract
A V.I.E mission offers you 12 to 24 highly formative months on an international team – an extremely high-value experience that can lead to a permanent contract either on-site or elsewhere!

Closing remarks, by Caroline
“You quickly feel settled in, and I’d even say that it goes by pretty quickly. I learned a lot thanks to the training I got throughout my V.I.E. In the day-to-day, the Societe Generale network becomes our second family. It’s a full, and very pleasant, immersion.”
Recruitment process
After checking that you are fully eligible for V.I.E, send your application for an offer on our site.
If your application is been accepted by the recruitment teams, you will be asked to complete some online tests (English test, logic test and so on).
Once you have passed your tests, you have an interview with the manager, often on Skype. It is a fit? Then you will be made an offer.
The recruitment teams support you in your administrative formalities with Business France, the French agency for business development abroad that manages V.I.Es.
With your visa in your pocket (if required) and your contract signed, off you go on your assignment abroad, for integration into the Societe Generale teams!
