“It’s an outlook that goes beyond operations; it’s an outlook focused on people.” Sérgio Faber, the officer Responsible for People Administration on the Suape petrochemical plant project in Recife, is referring to the Education on Human Resources Program being carried out by the Construtora Norberto Odebrecht (CNO) People and Organization team. Sérgio is one of the 30 company members who are taking part in the second edition of the program, which aims to educate participants involved in several activities related to that field.

Divided into three modules, the program involves two days of in-person classes for each module. The participants are recommended by their leaders in each area. “We decide on the number of openings and the officers Responsible for People and Organization contact leaders and ask them to identify the participants,” says Milena Moreno Giglioti, who is Responsible for the program.

Milena also leads the Education Program on Procurement and Logistics, which aims to hone participants’ skills and help them find solutions in these areas. Now in its second edition, it has 25 participants, including members working on construction projects and at Olex, Odebrecht’s logistics and exports arm. “It is a guide for the modern purchaser, who learns to establish better relations with suppliers,” says Emerson Florentino Danda, Responsible for the Pirapama joint venture’s Materials Program in Recife. Also divided into three modules, this program is being carried out in partnership with the IMAM (Innovation and Improvement in Modern Administration) Institute, and all activities are carried out at the institute’s headquarters.
