Candidate proposes training and access to work for young people from Pernambuco

Improving the business environment and adapting to the tax transition is essential to generating more formal employment. But we also have to understand that people nowadays, especially young people, want something more: they want to undertake, they want to open their own business, to work with digital. So, we need to connect the two things: people's desires and the market's needs. It is necessary to train Pernambuco men and women. And our mandate will guarantee investment for this, training courses so that the people of Pernambuco can take advantage of the new opportunities that we will be able to generate from next year onwards.

Education and professional training are fundamental to generating opportunities. In Pernambuco, the Lula government created six new Federal Institutes adapted to the reality and economic vocation of each region. I intend to bring digital connection programs to the interior, like Coque Conecta, which I supported. We are also going to bring robotics laboratories throughout the state. I will fight for new federal institutes because it is through training and access to technology that we will generate opportunities for these young people to have a better life.

I will adopt, as Senator of the Republic, public policies and projects that can encourage young people's access to the job market through their first job. At the same time, we will value the quality of education. Good quality education naturally generates more possibilities of accessing the job market. And, finally, encouraging professional technical education, connecting with Pernambuco's natural vocations, in the area of ​​innovation technology, tourism, small and medium-sized companies, which can generate more access to the job market for our young people.

We are going to work very hard in the Senate so that we can qualify our young people, so that we can have more places in public universities, so that we can have more professional courses, so that young people can enter the job market with their profession, with a formal contract, with respect and dignity. We will also work so that autistic and disabled people have more work opportunities, with a job and with a formal contract as well. This is how I will be a senator, to defend Brazilian and Pernambuco workers.

In recent years, I chaired the Parliamentary Front to Combat Child Labor and Encourage the Learning Law, and we know the importance of young people who finish high school entering the job market. Many young people want to do this. Therefore, we propose a scholarship of R$600 for young people who want to attend high school along with vocational education. And he also proposes that the state carry out an active search, there are many young people who neither work nor study. This active search will enable us to see the state together, often taking them out of informality. I am the deputy who invested the most in public higher education and technical education. It was more than R$25 million and we are going to do it in the Senate.
