IFB Has Openings in Free Courses Exclusive for Quotas
IFB reserves more than half of its slots for affirmative action. A candidate enrolled in the institutional or legal affirmative action quotas will only compete for openings in free technical courses by providing proof of these conditions through documents and, if necessary, a committee established for specific actions.
Sixty percent of the total slots will be aimed at candidates who have completed the previous level of education entirely in public schools. It is worth mentioning that technical courses offer various benefits such as their duration, more accessible investment, training focused on practical activities, recognition by the MEC, and much more.
