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.
In addition to technical skills, the course provides support for citizenship formation and the development of behavioral competencies such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.
