Attracting and investing in new talent

 

Promoting youth employment and valuing future generations is one of the Vicaima Group's priorities. That's why we invest in partnerships that present solid and innovative projects, such as the 42Porto school and the Fundação José Neves, which encourage the development of skills and integration into a professional world that is intended to be more qualified and attractive.

In this context, proximity actions with future professionals are equally fundamental and that is why we enhance a close connection with Universities and Schools across the country, bringing the concept of “from theory to practice” to life, through open classes in the institutions themselves or visits to our manufacturing units. 

From curricular, extra-curricular or professional internships, the opportunities and challenges presented by the Vicaima Group are diverse and can, depending on the desired field of study, be carried out in one of our companies at national or international level.

 

The dynamics of the Vicaima Group provide daily challenges and can turn the start of a professional journey into an enriching and special experience.

Our motto is:
"Work with safety first"

Promoting and guaranteeing a safe and healthy working environment for Our People is a commitment and a priority for Vicaima. We foster a safety culture based on prevention, training and information, which is crucial to encouraging good individual and collective practices.
 

In this context, various projects and improvement actions have been implemented since 2020, including:

 

In this way, we seek to consolidate a collective culture of safety in order to promote the involvement of all parties in identifying potential improvements, raising awareness to prevent accidents at work and occupational illnesses.
