For São Paulo, 112 scholarships will be offered to young people aged 18 to 23 who live in the eastern region of the city and surrounding cities. Interested parties may sign up through the website. The program will be face-to-face, taught at Senac Penha and will last 260 hours divided into two phases, covering basic computing, programming logic and systems programming.
Young people will have career mentoring with Serasa Experian professionals, personalized social and pedagogical support, Senac certification at the end of the course and support for entering the market.
In addition to the east zone of São Paulo, this edition of the program has already covered the south zone of São Paulo and the city of São Carlos. The next classes will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Fortaleza, Florianópolis and Belém.
The executive manager of Sustainability at Serasa Experian, Paulo Gomes, comments that entering the job market is an arduous process for young people, especially for those who have not had the opportunity to receive adequate training. “We want to transform the lives of young people in the favela through education, breaking barriers to reduce inequality. We will have a complete approach, with consistent technical content, human development and differentiated attention for each individual, ensuring that they can make the most of the opportunity. In the end, these young people will be able to work in any company or technology field.”
“The technology market is growing every day, and a partnership like this opens the way for young favela residents to have their skills valued and expand their awareness, putting them on the trail of productive inclusion.
