2022 edition of the Vacation Internship Program sets a record in hiring women

OEC’s Holiday Internship Program has this year started fresh. After the campaign that positions OEC as a company that values differences and seeks young talents belonging to minority groups, the team selected from the 7,368 applications was mostly female.

Aiming to create an increasingly diverse and inclusive environment, this year’s program had a greater emphasis on identifying women, black and low-income people. Of the 63 vacancies offered, 36 were filled by women and 29 by men. This is the first edition in which they are the majority.

“Our premise is that a diverse and inclusive environment enhances creativity, cooperation and the organizational spirit and, consequently, leverages the generation of results, including financial ones,” explains Ludmila Lavigne, RAE Planning and People.

Gás Sul Consortium and Copasa, for example, have hired groups formed exclusively by women. “Some locations are difficult to access, which makes it a little more difficult to access diverse groups, but we did our best to always have a balance, so we are pleased with the result,” said Sabrina Veras, responsible for People – Brazil.

In 2021, OEC released its Diversity & Inclusion Policy, including some undertakings, such as the adoption of inclusive people attraction and identification processes, in which equity gaze and actions are used for efficiency in attracting more and better diverse professionals.
