- REC Talks:internal lectures conducted by VTEX black employees, about the challenges and perspectives in relation to the labor market;
- Hiring Training:training sessions inhiring (selection and recruitment) aimed at VTEX black professionals, with the intention of training interviewers and guaranteeing inclusive selection processes;
- Anti-racist education course:given by the Mais Diversidade consultancy, it focuses on showing employees the importance of effective participation by all in building a more diverse and inclusive environment;
- "Sourcing Sessions":special sessions for attracting and selecting black professionals for the job openings available at VTEX.
There will also be a large online event, free and open to the public to mark the end of the Black History Month from VTEX (all details will be posted on the Company's social networks shortly). These actions reinforce VTEX's commitment to foster diversity and inspire new generations of leaders in the technology market.
