Partnership Transforms Historic Building into Hub for Youth Employability and Professional Qualification of Rede Cidadã in Belo Horizonte.
The Rede Cidadã inaugurates, on the next 10th, its new headquarters in Belo Horizonte, located in the historic building of ACMinas BH, in the hypercenter of the capital of Minas Gerais.
The space has been revitalized after an investment of R$ 5 million and adapted to expand programs for social-emotional training and actions aimed at youth employability.
Thus, the proposal is to transform the location into a hub for professional qualification and human development, aligned with the current demands of the job market.

The initiative also seeks to strengthen productive inclusion and expand opportunities for young people at the beginning of their careers.
New Headquarters of Rede Cidadã Re-signifies Historic Building of ACMinas BH
Built in the 1930s, the building of ACMinas BH is considered a landmark of the institutional and economic development of Belo Horizonte.
With the arrival of Rede Cidadã, the building also assumes a strategic social role.
The revitalization process preserved original architectural elements, maintaining the historical identity of the property.
At the same time, the internal environments were reconfigured to meet the new educational and formative functions.
Thus, tradition and innovation come to coexist in the same space.
Structure of the New Headquarters Prioritizes Social-Emotional Training
The new headquarters was planned to break with traditional teaching models.
Thus, the classrooms abandon fixed desks and adopt flexible furniture, allowing multiple configurations.
In practice, this stimulates dialogue, collaboration, and active participation of students.
These skills are considered essential for entering and remaining in the job market.
Additionally, the space features auditoriums and areas for meetings, debates, and collective activities.
Youth Employability Guides Applied Methodology
The focus of Rede Cidadã is directly linked to youth employability.
The applied methodology combines technical qualification with behavioral development.
This model has already been applied to over 50,000 people over a decade.
The results indicate significant impacts on the retention of young people in employment.
According to a study by Accenture, participants in this type of training can remain employed for up to three times longer.
Social-Emotional Training Gains Attention from Companies and HRs
The emphasis on social-emotional training also attracts interest from the corporate sector.
Companies observe direct gains in reducing turnover — an indicator that measures employee rotation.
Thus, by developing skills such as communication, resilience, and teamwork, young people arrive better prepared for the professional environment.
Therefore, social investment also generates returns for employers.
This alignment strengthens institutional partnerships and expands opportunities for productive inclusion.
Statements Reinforce the Social Impact of the New Headquarters
“The new headquarters in a building of such importance in the history of Belo Horizonte translates, in physical space, how Rede Cidadã prepares people for the world of work.
It is an environment that strengthens protagonism, collaboration, and social-emotional development,” says the Executive Director of Rede Cidadã, Fernando Alves.
The partnership with the business association was also highlighted.
“Welcoming Rede Cidadã to the ACMinas Building is a great satisfaction.
This partnership symbolizes the union of efforts in favor of inclusion, professional qualification, and the building of a more just and productive society. It requalifies and brings movement to the hypercenter.
Despite ACMinas, we have always believed that sustainable development is about people.
Thus, the arrival of Rede Cidadã to our home reaffirms this purpose and amplifies the social impact of our actions,” says ACMinas President Cledorvino Belini.
Inauguration Ceremony Brings Together Companies and Partners
Thus, the inauguration of the new headquarters will feature an extensive institutional program.
Guided tours of the revitalized spaces and debates on current challenges in talent development are planned.
There will also be dialogues about the role of physical spaces in productive social inclusion.
Another moment will be dedicated to honoring individuals and institutions that have marked the 23 years of the Rede Cidadã journey.
Event at ACMinas BH Will Have Presence of the Business Sector
The institutional opening will bring together leaders and strategic partners. Fernando Alves and Cledorvino Belini will represent the two institutions.
Executives from companies like McDonald’s, Montreal, and Rocca Engenharia confirmed their presence.
The meeting reinforces the connection between social qualification and corporate demand.
New Headquarters Consolidates Hub for Youth Employability in BH
With the inauguration, Rede Cidadã positions ACMinas BH as a reference center in social-emotional training and youth employability.
The goal is to broaden social impact and strengthen sustainable professional trajectories.
Meanwhile, the hypercenter of the capital gains a new flow of people and activities.
Therefore, the project also contributes to the urban revitalization of the region.
The expectation is that the new headquarters will expand partnerships, increase services, and consolidate Belo Horizonte as a hub of innovation in human development.
