Transportation assistance via bus is also provided, ensuring that students can travel to the unit easily.
Target Audience and Social Inclusion
The ViraVida program is specially designed to serve young people in situations of social vulnerability, focusing on groups that often face discrimination and difficulties accessing educational and professional opportunities.
This includes young people undergoing socio-educational measures, those who are institutionally sheltered, as well as members of the LGBTQIAPN+ community (preferably trans and transgender individuals), black youths (both black and brown), and slum residents.
Inclusion of these groups is a priority for Firjan, which seeks to promote equal opportunities and help these young people develop a more promising future.
Training is not only a way to acquire skills but also an important step for social and economic transformation.

Those interested in participating in the program must meet certain requirements.
It is necessary to be between 15 and 22 years old, currently attending at least the 6th year of Elementary School, and reside in the capital or Greater Rio, with easy access to the Firjan Vila Isabel unit.
Applications can be made through the link available on the official Firjan.
Opportunity for Transformation
The ViraVida is more than just a training program; it is a life-changing opportunity.
Young people participating in the training not only acquire technical knowledge but also develop personal skills that are essential for entering the job market.
In a context where employability is a constant challenge, initiatives like this are crucial to prepare the new generation for a more promising future.
If you are a young person who fits the criteria, don’t miss this chance to change your professional trajectory. Sign up and take advantage of the opportunity to grow and develop with the support of Firjan!
