Career Development Opportunity

We believe that employee competence is directly proportional to every company's best achievement. The Company always opens wide opportunities for every employee and contractor in developing their career, taking into account the results of the performance appraisal conducted for all (100%) employees.

Employee competency training and development is managed by the People & Culture Department, and is carried out according to the company's needs and development plans by involving superiors and all employees. We improve employee competency through various training programs, coaching, mentoring and on-the-job training.

We have enrolled several employees in the Engineering Education Study Program (PPI) at several universities including Hasanudin University. PT Vale facilitates and encourages these employees to take the Professional Engineer Certification (SIP) and Engineer Registration Certificate conducted by the Indonesian Engineers Association (PII). PT Vale has also established the Sorowako Technical Academy which has graduated 1,516 people.

In addition to competency development, PT Vale has also gradually provided managerial capability improvements, particularly for local talents.
