What courses are available?
IFBA made three course options available, totaling 240 vacancies divided between the following areas:
- Cultural agent: 120 vacancies;
- Photographer: 60 vacancies;
- Stage lighting: 60 vacancies.
Classes will start on the day 20 January 2025 and will extend until April of the same year. With a total workload of 200 hours, the courses will be held from Monday to Friday, from 18 am - 22 pm, and occasionally on Saturdays.
To facilitate access, activities will take place in strategic locations and partners, such as Boca de Brasa Theater and the Neves Baptist State College, both located in the Cajazeiras neighborhood, in Salvador.
Financial aid for participants
One of the great advantages of this initiative is the financial assistance offered by IFBA to cover transportation and food costs.
Students enrolled and regularly attending classes will receive R$4,50 per hour/class, which can total up to R$ 900 throughout the course at the Federal Institute, depending on attendance.
According to the IFBA, this financial aid is essential to ensure that participants can attend classes without difficulties, promoting an inclusive and accessible experience.
How do vacancies and affirmative actions work?
The selection process also promotes social inclusion through affirmative actions.
Of the total of 240 vacancies, 60% are reserved for candidates who self-declare as black, brown or indigenous (PPI), 5% for people with disabilities (PCD) and 5% for quilombolas.
Os The remaining 30% will be allocated to the general competition. If some reserved vacancies are not filled, they will be redistributed to the other candidates in the general competition.
This policy reinforces IFBA's commitment to equal opportunities, prioritizing access to quality professional qualifications for historically marginalized groups.
