About us
In October 2010, faced with the challenge of recruiting students with disabilities, Alcatel-Lucent—now Nokia—founded the @talentEgal association in partnership with 6 schools.
Its mission ? To support students with disabilities in earning a higher education degree, paving the way for smoother access to employment.
We believe it is a company’s responsibility to ensure that everyone can be recruited, integrated, and supported based on one essential criterion: skills. That’s why it is vital to provide students with disabilities the opportunity to follow the same training programs as everyone else
