Aki,  Process Operator, Salo, Finland

“At Valmet Automotive, I took my first steps as a Logistics desk officer, getting to know the entire structure of the company’s operations. Over the next years of work, I developed my skills and faced new challenges. Without the support and trust of my supervisor and people from the department, my career development would not be possible at such a high level. If you want to develop yourself in VA, first of all, believe in your skills and in yourself. Be open to new challenges, take initiative and treat failures as an opportunity to learn and gain experience. “
