Training in Technology with a Social Focus
The technology market is among the fastest-growing in Brazil, and the lack of qualified professionals is one of the main challenges companies in the sector face. Therefore, initiatives like Transforme-se not only contribute to social inclusion but also prepare youth for future professions, with great potential for employability and development.
