The Impact Of BEEM On Students And Companies
Silvana Oliveira, a member of the Paulista Professional Education Program team, highlights that BEEM’s main goal is to connect young students with companies, allowing them to apply the knowledge acquired in the technical course. “Companies will have access to prepared students who are motivated to learn and grow within the work environment,” she stated.
With the deadline extension, students have more time to secure a chance in the job market, while companies can benefit from the inclusion of skilled young people in their teams.
The program is an opportunity for both the professional development of students and the renewal of the teams of partner companies.
