I joined Vale as a trainee and worked in various areas within the company. I lived in various places and travelled to all the areas in which the company operates. These were challenging experiences that demanded commitment, creativity, decision making abilities (sometimes difficult) and a big personal and professional effort. However, at the end, they left a rich legacy and prepared me for the challenges to come.

I had training opportunities, studied in some of the world’s best business universities and took part in some excellent internal programs. The Careers and Succession Plan is an example of a mature process in Vale.

This is a company for someone wishing to work in an organization that makes a difference, transforms the regions in which it operates, brings progress wherever it goes, recognizes and values its employees and supports their development. Investment in its employees is a condition of survival for a company like Vale.
