    Selection process

    The 2025 selection process takes place from October to December 2024 in a hidden manner until the last stage.  

    Information such as age, educational institution, address and marital status is withheld during the selection process in order to avoid value judgments on the part of those carrying out the assessment. Our selection process is based on your assessment of potential and performance. 

     The development path of the 2025 Trainee Program will last 12 months and will consist of practical learning, formal learning and informal learning. The practical learning part accounts for 70% of the track and includes experience of challenges and projects within the allocation area. 

    In addition to the opportunity for development and learning, the company offers a salary compatible with that of the market and the following benefits: profit sharing (PLR); relocation allowance; private pension plan; medical, dental and pharmacy assistance; food vouchers; on-site meals; group life insurance; childcare assistance; Wellhub (Gympass); and the Employee Assistance Program (Apoiar).

    We are present in 5 Brazilian states, spread over 4 different regions. Of course, we want to find potential talent across the entire national territory.

    Among the group of trainees selected in 2022 in Brazil, 67% are female, 71% identified themselves as black (black or brown) and 49% are from the North and Northeast regions of Brazil. We want to increasingly value talents and encourage you, regardless of where you study or live, to be part of our transformation.
