Garcês highlights that Senai demonstrates, with its experience in successful partnerships and training in these formats, that it only contributes to Alumar, a major production company.

Lopes states that Alumar is once again trying to break paradigms and expand opportunities for women in São Luís through training in one of the most complex areas. According to Lopes, Senai has the responsibility, given the trust placed by Alumar in the training of women, to show the rest of the country the importance of engaging in a program of this level.

Training Will Be Aimed at Former Students of Senai

The manager affirms that the company values the provision of excellent education and, over the years of partnership, Senai has shown its commitment to training students, which impacts the quality of professionals entering the market.

During the meeting, measures and deadlines were discussed for creating the project activity schedule. The 50 women will be selected from the bank of former students trained by Senai.
