Nealy 30 youngsters from the communities of Bento Rodrigues and Paracatu (MG) registered for the selective process of the Federal Institute of Minas Gerais (IFMG) for technical courses and integrated Secondary Education in Industrial Automation, Administration, Metallurgy and Edification.
In November, the future students participated in a lecture on the professional education offered by the IFMG professionals, with the supports of Samarcos, Mariana City Hall and Grupo Coaching Blanco. The initiative is part of the actions of Samarco’s work front, which deals with occupation, work and income for the communities affected by the accident involving the dams.
The IFMG allowed a registration fee for the selective process, which will take place on December 20. The students receive a socioeconomic evaluation to receive benefits, such as food, daycare, public transportation, among other benefits.
