Women in Civil Construction
To the men on duty, I’m sorry to inform you, but the priority is for women in situations of economic and social vulnerability. The age range should be between 18 and 45 years, and they must have completed at least 5th grade of elementary school. The project is carried out by the Instituto Maria Imaculada, with sponsorship from Petrobras.
