The rapid changes and the competitiveness of the labor market have demanded the organizations and individuals a constant process of improvement. Thus, a common practice in organizations is to evaluate the gaps in employee competencies and to develop them through systematic and structured Training, Development and Education (TD&E) actions. However, whether learning occurs or not depends on individual and contextual characteristics. Studies have shown that recognition of individual aspects in this process contributes to the successful professional development of employees as well as to the results of training expected by the organization. In this perspective, the present research intends to contribute with the area of instructional evaluation systems when investigating the relations between the variables learning strategies and personality traits according to the theory of the Big Five in face-to-face corporate training. Data collection was carried out in a population of 115 employees of a telecommunications company located in Minas Gerais, Brazil, which participated in a training titled "Gestão à Vista". Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness Personality Inventary Revised (NEO-FFI-R) and the Learning Strategies Scale were used in online format. The rate of return obtained is a differential among the studies of the area, with participation of 74.78% of the studied population. Descriptive statistical analyzes of the variables and Pearson Correlation Coefficient Tests were performed. The results evidenced that the strategies most used by the sample were the self-regulatory ones and that the most present personality trait was the Conscientiousness. The correlations show that the learning strategies entitled Practical Elaboration and Application and Motivation Control are positively related to personality traits Extroversion, Openness, Kindness and Conscientiousness, and negatively with Neuroticism. Already the Cognitive Strategies and Search for Help showed a positive relationship only with Kindness, while Emotion Control was negatively related to Neuroticism. This research offers contributions to the evaluation subsystem insofar as it raises the possibility of the insertion of variable personality traits, hitherto unused in national surveys, but which has been stable, robust, predictable and determinant correlation of other variables involved in the process of T &E.
