The appointment of Alice Ingala, 32, as International Language Specialist and Academy Back Office at VINCI Energies Italy in May 2023 – supporting thecountry’s VINCI Energies Academy – seems a clear decision given the previous career history of this young Italian. Alice’s family hails from Milan, but until high school level she was brought up in Munich, Germany, where her mother worked as an Italian teacher. Alice therefore speaks three languages fluently: Italian, German and English. 

When Alice stumbled across a VINCI Energies job vacancy for a languages teacher to take part in launching its Academy in Italy, she instantly thought that the position was made for her. “I would be promoting continuous training and education, as well as values that are important to me – like those championed by VINCI Energies – while being part of a company that is taking action for the environment.” 

Alice is delighted with her new role. “I’m lucky to work at an international and multicultural group. Teaching the employees of a single company also enables me to establish a stronger connection with my ‘students’. And unlike in my previous jobs, I can adjust our programmes and set targets.” 

Alice is also an accomplished pianist – so all she has to do now is set her project to music to make the Italian academy even more groundbreaking!
