Accessibility And Diversity In The Offer Of Free Courses
The free courses offered by the Atacarejo chain are available both in-person and virtually, ensuring broad and inclusive access. The online format, held on Wednesdays from 6 PM to 7 PM, allows reaching workers who are outside the capital.
Practical Schedule To Follow The Construction Sector
In Rio de Janeiro, on the 6th, 20th, and 27th of September, the courses will cover practical topics such as application of expanding foam, assembly of electrical panels, installation of vinyl flooring, and decorative textures — always in morning classes, from 9 AM to 12 PM.
This facilitates participation even for those who work during the week.
Female Empowerment In Civil Construction
In response to the increasing presence of women in the sector, Atacarejo will offer classes from the Academy of Professionals aimed exclusively at the female audience.
On September 13th, at the units in Benfica, Jacarepaguá, Guadalupe, and Mesquita, participants will learn about everything from shower installations to drywall assembly, encouraging extra income and independence.
Technical Content With Real Applications
The free courses include classes on budgeting and calculations for drywall, waterproofing, electrical and plumbing installations, all focusing on techniques used in the daily routine of civil construction.
This practical training adds immediate value to the work of professionals.
Limited Enrollments And Growing Demand
Spaces are limited and are already available on the Academy of Professionals’ Obramax website, reinforcing the need for quick registration to guarantee participation.
Additionally, the initiative fulfills the mission of Atacarejo to promote technical development and inclusion in the construction market.
With this round of free courses, Atacarejo solidifies its role as a leader in training the workforce for civil construction.
The in-person offering, with practical classes on Saturdays, and the online reach demonstrate commitment to qualification on a large scale.
The inclusion of women’s classes and the varied content reinforce the importance of the initiative to make the sector more technical, fair, and accessible.
