LET´S GROW TOGETHER!

The Arte e Engenho programme has enabled the transfer of knowledge among several Casais Group companies related to the industry.

“As the first candidate of all editions in the field of engineering and industrial management, these last few months have been full of challenges and learning experiences, as the Group has focused on innovation and industrialisation in the construction sector.

In addition, the international experience in Angola significantly contributed to my professional and personal growth. I learned to adapt to new contexts and view change as an opportunity for growth.”

“The Arte e Engenho programme was an excellent kick-off for my professional career, opening up a range of opportunities and options for my path at Casais.”

“In my opinion, the Arte e Engenho programme is the ideal way for a recent graduate to start their journey at Casais, immediately entering a professional environment that involves many of the company’s departments. This exposure and holistic experience is a huge asset, as they later give us the vision, better knowledge of the company and the business, and the confidence to perform our assigned tasks more effectively.”

“Being a trainee in the Arte e Engenho programme at Casais was crucial in starting my career in civil engineering. Rotating through all the departments and having a global vision of the company’s operations not only made it easier to integrate, but also helped me to understand the direction I wanted to take in my professional career.”

“Arte e Engenho is an excellent opportunity to learn and grow, both personally and professionally. We have the chance to immerse ourselves in all the components that make up the construction universe. The journey is tailored to each trainee’s profile, and we are constantly driven by the collaborative spirit around us.”

Being part of the Arte & Engenho programme is an opportunity that all recent graduates should have at the beginning of their professional careers, regardless of their field of study. The transition from academia to professional life is complex and challenging. Not knowing exactly what we like or don’t like, or being able to distinguish what we want to do from what we don’t want to do is to be expected. The programme not only helped me answer these questions, but also provided me with personal and professional growth and self-discovery. The opportunity to rotate through different departments and experience different professional roles within the company gave me a broad view of how it operates, helped me understand the business, meet people and learn methodologies, and discover a variety of professional paths and opportunities within the Group, allowing me to choose the best path for my career in line with my interests and ambitions.

The Arte e Engenho programme is a very well structured and clearly defined internship programme. The internship plan includes rotations through several departments of the company, tailored to each trainee, which helps build relationships with the team members and managers in each department. This understanding at the departmental level gradually evolves into a global understanding of how Casais operates, fostering a sense of belonging to the Group, integration, and the development of the Casais DNA. This company truly offers challenges and opportunities and creates an environment where it’s safe to make mistakes, learn, grow, and strive to do better every day.

The Arte e Engenho programme contributed greatly to my dynamic integration into the company. It allowed me to get to know the inner workings of each department individually, and later, how they interacted. Most importantly, it has allowed me to meet the people who work in the different sectors and understand the roles they play. This is the aspect I find most interesting about the programme.
