Institute opens a thousand vacancies in MS for free course that prepares young people for their first job

Instituto PROA opens a thousand places for the free online course that prepares young people for their first job in Mato Grosso do Sul. Registrations for young people aged 17 to 22 are open until April 14th and places are exclusive to those who completed high school in public schools or is completing this year. In addition to MS, there are also vacancies for SP, RJ, MG, PR, SC, RS, GO, DF, BA and PE. In total there are 35 thousand vacancies.

With professional training, classes begin on May 27th on the PROA Platform and interested parties must register by April 14th on the institute’s website (www.proa.org.br).

In addition to interpersonal skills, the PROA course offers optional specialization in Administration, Excel and Power BI, Retail, Logistics, UX Design, Brand Promotion, Financial Education or Customer Service.

The vacancies are exclusive to students who have completed high school in public schools or who are completing this year. They are distributed by state, with 15 thousand for São Paulo, 8 thousand for Rio de Janeiro, 4 thousand for Minas Gerais and 2 thousand for Rio Grande do Sul. The states of Paraná, Santa Catarina, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pernambuco and Bahia will have 1 thousand vacancies each and Goiás and Distrito Federal will receive 750 vacancies, respectively.

For Alini Dal’Magro, CEO of Instituto PROA, offering professional courses is essential to support young people who are still looking for their first job. “The latest IBGE data shows that the unemployment rate among young people aged 18 to 24 is more than 23%. This means that we have many recent high school graduates wanting to work, but having difficulty finding a job due to a lack of technical and behavioral training,” she notes.

“PROA appears to enhance the chances of young people from public schools in the job market”, reinforces Alini. “We want to be the support in this very important phase of early adult life by qualifying, developing and offering real opportunities. This is our commitment.”

The course

To participate in the selection process, interested parties must register on the PROA website, then answer a basic Portuguese Language and Logical Reasoning test and, if approved, proceed to the stage of filling out personal data to enroll in the course. .

The course is 100 hours long and is divided into four modules, which prepare students for their first job. The themes are: Self-knowledge, Professional Project, Logical Reasoning and Communication. Once a week, young people participate in live remote meetings mediated by tutors.

Young people can choose to take a 5th module with a specific technical track. There are eight careers to choose from, sponsored by large companies, with 50 hours of preparation for each: Administration (P&G), Logistics (P&G), Excel and Power BI (Microsoft), Retail (Fundação Casas Bahia), UX Design (Accenture), Brand Promotion (BRF), Financial Education (Bloomberg + Dahlia Capital) and Customer Service (IMFG + Grupo Bmg).

At the end of the course, participants receive a certificate of completion and access to an exclusive job vacancy platform.
