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.

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.
