About 8,000 vacancies for free online courses in Distance Education (EAD) have been made available especially to women by the Federal Institute of Southern MINAS, IFSM. Enrollments have been open since September 1st. The opportunities being offered by IFSM are provided through the New Paths program.

Opportunity for Free EAD Courses Especially for Women

The New Paths project, together with IFSM, considered it very important to encourage the training of women who are or have recently left situations of social vulnerability and high risk, that is, women who are trying to get back on their feet, mainly financially.

Offering these women free EAD courses, enabling them to train without needing to leave home, gives them more time to prepare and decide what they will do next. The available vacancies for enrollment in the free online EAD courses are open to everyone but prioritized for residents of the South of Minas region.
