That is why we are committed to this training through the combination of diverse experiences in the corporate world”, highlights Cláudia.
Among the development experiences, interns will have the opportunity to lead a project with the aim of improving the strategic vision of leadership and project management; and participate in the “Development Academy”, a playful, fun and participatory learning experience, considering Corteva’s organizational culture and behavioral skills.
Also as part of the Program, the company supports students to improve their English communication skills, not only with training, but also by creating opportunities for exposure to the language, and offers virtual training platforms, such as LinkedIn Learning.
The program provides for the delivery of formal feedback conducted by the intern's manager and main mentors. The student is invited to be an ambassador and protagonist of Corteva's culture and actively participate in actions related to the practice of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity and as a supporter of the volunteering commitment.
