I started work with Vale in 2006, under the Young Apprentice Program and was taken on permanently as a mechanic for the Plant 8 project in Tubarão, in 2010. Vale does all it can to further the qualifications of its employees and I believe that this characteristic is one of the cornerstones of its developmental spirit.

One source of pride for Vale employees is that the company has really incorporated sustainable development and recognizes the need to minimize the impact of its production on the environment. This commitment can be seen in the communities that surround its plants. Daily efforts ensure that employees also take these correct beliefs home with them, helping to make the world a better place to live in.​​
