Each student will receive a scholarship of R$ 1,000 and a complete educational kit.
At the end of the training, participants will have access to the “Employability – The New Path of Professional Training” track.

Transformar Program Already Shows Expressive Results in Brazil
Created in 2023, the Transformar started its activities in São Sebastião (SP). Thus, the program directly responded to the heavy rains that hit the municipality and required swift social support actions.
Since then, Transformar has qualified 1,180 people in cities like Rio Grande and Angra dos Reis. Furthermore, the program has offered courses such as boilermaker, administrative assistant, and deckhand, strengthening local employability.
In 2026, Transformar will open another 100 openings in Salvador for engineering students. Therefore, the initiative will continue to expand its reach and create new opportunities for professional training in different regions of Brazil.
