"I have always enjoyed the manual side of things and it is for this reason that I work in maintenance. It is a male-dominated environment. In fact, there were only two girls, including myself, on my industrial sciences and technology baccalaureate course. Later on, the proportion of men and women on my mechanical and production engineering university course was almost the same. I would simply say that men, rather than women, have more of an interest in this type of training or job, and that is a great shame! What matters is being happy in the line of work you have chosen, which is my case so everything is great!’ Tiphaine de Montaignac, Mechanical maintenance and sheet metal work coordinator"
