  1. What did winning the GlobalCCU Award for Best Corporate University mean to you and your team?
    Receiving this recognition was an extraordinary validation of the consistent and innovative work we have been doing. For me and my team, it represented the certainty that we are on the right path—connecting learning, strategy, respect, diversity, inclusion, collaborative environments, and human development. This award reflects the dedication and commitment of every employee involved and Bradesco’s steadfast belief in preparing people for the challenges of today and tomorrow. Above all, it reinforces our genuine belief that education transforms lives.
  2. How has winning this award positively impacted you, UniBrad, and Bradesco?
    The award has brought even greater visibility to UniBrad’s work and underscored the importance of corporate education within the financial sector and the broader market. Internally, it strengthened our purpose, inspired and further engaged our employees, fostering a collective sense of pride. For Bradesco, it symbolizes our position as a leader in innovation and people development, consolidating our contribution to business evolution and social impact. This recognition reinforces education as a strategic pillar to transform organizations and society.

Approaching this process with authenticity and passion is a way to highlight how your initiatives generate real value for your organization and society. This journey broadens horizons, reinforces the strategic role of corporate universities, and provides learning experiences that are as transformative as the award itself.
