The importance of jobs for young people
Another survey also carried out by IBGE, in 2020, showed that in the state of São Paulo the number of unemployed people reached 3,5 million people. In addition to helping to reduce this number, the courses will provide new opportunities for these young people. Regarding the state of Amazonas, the agency pointed out that only 50,3% of the population of Amazonas has access to good relocation to the job market.
Given these data, the vacancies available for high school students, and for those who have already completed this phase, will contribute to better income generation opportunities.
