Thanks to a partnership with Senai, Nestlé Purina and the Federation of Industries of Santa Catarina (Fiesc) were able to announce, this week, a training course for labor with 150 positions to work at the company’s new factory in Vargeão (SC). According to NSC Total, the forecast is that the manufacturing unit dedicated to producing wet food for pets will be inaugurated in March 2024.
During this year, six classes will be formed in partnership with the National Industrial Learning Service (Senai), each with 25 spots. Two of them have already begun in January, one aimed at residents of the region hired through selection processes by Nestlé Purina and the other for the general community.

The professional courses by Nestlé Purina with Senai will take place over two months at the unit in Xanxerê (SC). The first stage focuses on basic industrial concepts that can be applied in positions at other companies in the region. After that, participants will spend a month learning about Nestlé culture.
