Take a page out of our founder Antonio Cerqueira’s book. He didn’t speak a word of English, all he had was a plan, a sense of adventure and an amazing gift for cooking delicious chicken. If there’s one piece of advice I’d give to anyone thinking of starting a career at Oporto it would be just that. Be fearless, set yourself a personal plan and work towards it. Make the most of the training and education we offer, and you’ll soon hit those goals.
