Preparação para Aposentadoria
Preparation for the new journey that begins following retirement: this is the focus of lectures and workshops from Preparation for Retirement Program (Programa de Preparação para Aposentadoria). This is the way Aperam takes care of this important stage of people’s lives.
“We hear people say that no one should be worried about retirement, and that retirement is something that comes later on. I disagree. For me, retirement is something that you should start thinking about on your first work day, in spite of working for yourself or for a company. You have to think that at some point you are going to have to hand your position over to someone else”, Leonam Almeida – 35 year with Aperam (he retired in 2013).

During these encounters, the pride of belonging to Aperam and the desire to build a promising future, with synergy and exchange of knowledge among the generations, that’s the emphasis.
“The encounter was enriching both professionally and personally, as the sharing of experiences enables us to have a vision on how to deal and live with the different generations, absorbing the best of each of them for our growth and converting it into positive results”, Wellington Wagner Santos Oliveira, supervisor at Aperam South America.
Act Program (Programa Agir) – Handicapped People and Vocational RehabilitationBy means of its Act Program – Global Action, Inclusion and Rehabilitation, Aperam promotes social inclusion through a different way and creates evolvement opportunities for all handicapped professionals from the market, in addition to taking back employees who have been absent from work, who are then qualified and prepared for the new routine. We prioritize safety in the role to be played, respecting the professional.
“A learning experience that has been changing my life”. Fabiana Alves de Azevedo Melo is a hearing impaired employee and an example of professional taken on by Aperam. “My ability to perform in the market has been expanded beyond measure. Nowadays I have only a few difficulties and I count on an experience that enables me to hold a position with Aperam, and that I’m sure, will yet lead to many other opportunities in the future”, she says. Prior to joining Aperam, she had as professional experience her previous work at a haberdashery shop, now she works in the Company’s Human Resources Department.
