Os dois melhores cursos tem apenas 90 vagas, o que é uma piada em se tratando de uma cidade populosa como São Paulo. Curiosamente, a foto da matéria remete à função de operador de empilhadeira, eu até imaginei que teria esse curso gratuito. Para fazer curso de “Auxiliar Administrativo” eu prefiro ficar em casa assistindo aulas em algum aplicativo gratuito de inglês ou de espanhol.
