Tecpetrol’s Summer Educational Practices, which are held in Argentina every year, ended on March 31. Almost half of the young people enrolled had to do their practice remotely. Even so, they all agreed that the experience had been extremely enriching and praised the role played by their tutors during the process. These are some of the testimonials shared by the participants.
The project, carried out together with the Fundación PROA, the El Tordillo Joint Venture and the Municipality was officially presented as one of the initiatives held to celebrate the city's anniversary.
The 19th ProPymes seminar was held today, a vital part of the Techint Group’s corporate program for the development of its value chain. The event, which for the first time in its history was held virtually due to COVID-19, was attended by key figures such as the Minister of Economy of Argentina, Martín Guzmán, the Executive President of Ternium Argentina, Martín Berardi and Paolo Rocca.
The simulators were selected as one of the top ten cases by the Persona Awards for Good Practices in Human Resources. At the closing event, after an elevator pitch, an open vote was held among all participants, and the project was voted in fourth place.
Paolo Rocca presided the ceremony where high school and university students from Engineering and Geosciences courses from various communities throughout the country stepped up to receive their awards in acknowledgment of their achievements. This year, the program represented an investment of over 67 million Argentine pesos.
A stronger team
Our +diversity program aims to empower women to fulfill their talent and potential, and reaffirms our commitment to equal opportunities. Today, 42% of Tecpetrol's young professionals are women. Our objective is to develop this seedbed so that they can grow and add value from leadership roles.
The program embraces broader issues, as it tackles diversity from all angles capable of adding value to the business. It seeks to raise awareness about biases that limit the growth and contribution of certain groups of people within the organization, and to create tools to help everyone to develop as fully as possible in each area of their lives.
