A group of 120 young people from Barra Mansa and Resende who participate in the Futuro em Nossas Mãos project will receive in July 29 and 30, respectively, their Senai certification for the courses on industrial maintenance mechanics, basis notions of welding and management practices for the market. The program is an endeavor by Votorantim Siderurgia, developed in partnership with Instituto Votorantim, which started in 2006 and has already graduated around 250 young people in several technical courses focused on the industrial and management areas.

The differential of the Futuro em Nossas Mãos project is that it takes advantage of Votorantim Siderurgia’s productive chain to create an employment network which effectively opens up job opportunity for young people graduated in the capacitating courses. Students are between 18 and 29 years old, have finished, at least, elementary school, have an average family income of half the Brazilian minimum wage and are unemployed or looking for their first jobs.

Aiming at developing in these young people the different skills and competences required by the market, the courses programs include from norms and procedures related to work quality and safety to classes on ethics and citizenship. The objective is to offer a technical and a human preparation which shall effectively contribute to give these young people support to get their first jobs.

The graduation ceremony of the Resende group shall take place on July 29, in the Event Hall of Sesi/Senai. Meanwhile, the graduation ceremony of the Barra Mansa group shall take place on July 29, in the Event Hall of Sesi/Senai of the city.
