Overall challenges Making suppliers competitive Vale has a number of requirements (quality, health & safety, social, environment) that any supplier needs to meet. The first challenge for the Inove program is to make local suppliers competitive enough so that the buyers consider them as an option. Articulating the value of local content strategies since the meaning of local content may vary across internal and external stakeholders, another challenge is to demonstrate that local content is related to creating shared value in terms of results and benefits for the company complemented by a positive legacy for the region where the company operates. Measuring the impact of the training program this is key to demonstrate the financial and social benefits to the company, the suppliers, and the surrounding communities.

Valer Educational Strategy
Valer - Vale s Training Program Skills gap: Facing a lack of high-skilled workforce in some states in the North of Brazil, Vale partnered with educational institutions to educate engineers, managers and logistics specialists as well as operational technical level employees among the local population. Benefits: The program benefits both the company, as it enables it to hire well-trained people locally, as well as Brazil s state educational Partners which can attract more talented students, whilst improving livelihoods in local communities. 820 engineers and geologists, in 5 years; 11,700 young students trained.
Valer Programs Two types of curricula University Level - Specialization Educate engineers and geologists. In partnership with universities, courses are created with real knowledge of business needs. Technical apprentice level It targets young people finishing school, and aims to provide them with technical education. The curriculum is a mix of theory and professional practice.
Overall challenges Large territory and remote regions - Vale s main operations are located in the states of Minas Gerais, Pará, Espírito Santo and Maranhão, which all together cover the same area as the Democratic Republic of Congo. Ø Pará state: Inove has the challenge of supporting S11D largest iron ore project in the world with an investment close to US$20 billion. The Northern states of Pará and Maranhão are among the poorest states in Brazil. Retaining talents The main challenge that Vale faces is that once it has trained and employed good professionals transferred from the south to the north, it struggles to retain them. Recruiting talents Due to some deficiencies in the Brazilian education system, Vale often finds that recruiting good candidates can be challenging. The company has determined that there are certain basic courses that have to be included in the training program to bring all students to a common level, such as Portuguese and mathematics
Key success factors Innovative training The success lies with the innovation that Vale brings to local education and the pioneering courses that have never been on the curriculum before. Educational partners have the opportunity to offer the courses in the future Improving livelihoods The professional qualification program also has a large impact on local communities, as education and better incomes improve the quality of life of whole families Partnering Structuring and implementing Vale s educational actions is possible thanks to the strategic engagement of partners in view of stimulating relationships and sharing Valer s benefits with the scholarly community, private entities in the education sector, and society at large Valer 14
