On monday march 8th we brought a visit to Vale, where we were given a presentation. Yeah I know, this post is a little bit old, but very interesting to read.

Vale is the second largest mining company in the word and also a sponsor of SENAI. For those of you that don’t know, SENAI is like a educational institute for vocational skills in Brazil.

Why did they give this presentation? Of course.. Vale people are smart. At the AmericaSkills competition, they will be looking out for persons who are willing to work for them. One thing you must know, every person in that building HAS a talent or professional knowledge of a vocational skill. So the AmericaSkills competition is one of the best places to look for work.

Those who are recruited by Vale are given a full 9 months training before starting on the job. Just like Spang Makandra.

Very interesting it was.

Afer our visit to Vale it was time for… the opening of the largest competition of vocational skills in the American continent! In te Maracana stadium! Yes.. the largest in Brasil.. where I waved the Suriname flag with pride
