Opportunity for Professional Training in Different Areas
The initiative serves as a bridge for the population to acquire new skills and position themselves more competitively in the job market.
The courses are a result of a partnership between the City Hall and various institutions, and they are also offered through the Reference Centers for Social Assistance (Cras).
This decentralized approach facilitates access for those who need it most, bringing knowledge closer to the communities.
The available spots cover different areas, reflecting market demand and the diverse interests of the population.
Among the options are courses such as: basic computer skills; manicure and pedicure; building electrician; finishing mason; low voltage electrician; and human resources assistant.
It’s a varied range that caters to sectors from services and beauty to construction and administration. Training in areas like electrical work and construction, for example, is crucial for training professionals who work in high-demand sectors in the Minas Gerais capital.
The classes have a specific number of spots to ensure quality education. For Computer Science, there are 15 spots.
For the other courses, availability varies between 20 to 25 spots, allowing for closer and more effective monitoring of students, ensuring that the learning is indeed effective.
Additional Benefits and Registration for the Professional Future
The PBH program stands out for going beyond the offer of free education.
By providing snacks and transportation in professional training classes, the City Hall removes two of the main barriers that prevent many from qualifying: the cost of commuting and food.
This support is essential for students to focus entirely on learning, without worrying about daily expenses, and ensures a higher retention rate in the courses.
To secure a spot, interested individuals must meet some basic requirements.
Individuals must be over 16 years old and reside in the Minas Gerais capital. Registrations are made at the partner centers and at the Cras, facilitating the process for the population.
It is important to emphasize that the public attending Cras or Creas has priority for access to the spots, ensuring that the project fulfills its social mission of inclusion and directly assists those in vulnerable situations.
With most courses starting as early as the first half of August, the opportunity is unmissable for those looking to invest in their future at no cost, taking advantage of the opportunity window that PBH is offering to its population.
