📋 Tender Overview
Registrations for free courses for vocational training in foreign trade, aimed at black people with per capita income of up to two minimum wages, were extended until next Monday (31/3).

Candidates from 16 years old can apply for vacancies that are distributed among six cities: Rio Grande (RS), Paranagua (PR), Fortaleza (CE), Joinville (SC), Santos (SP) and Itajai (SC). In all, there are 120 opportunities for professional qualification as an assistant of foreign trade services and 20 vacancies for the technical course in the area. In addition, new registrations will be opened soon to Recife (PE), which will have 20 more vacancies.
For Minister Anielle Franco, expanding access to professional training is an essential step in reducing inequalities and increasing the presence of the black population in strategic sectors of the economy, such as foreign trade. With this program we are ensuring that younger blacks have concrete opportunities for training and insertion in the job market, he said.
During the courses will be addressed topics such as export, import, customs order and logistics operations. The training will be held throughout the year in different cities, prioritizing port zones and strategic airports.
The initiative is part of a set of actions to expand the presence of black professionals in foreign trade, a sector that still has low racial representation, especially in management and management positions. According to a study by the MDIC Department of Foreign Trade, produced in partnership with MIR, black people occupy only 8.9% of board positions and 21% of management positions in exporting companies.
Program - Raizes Comex aims to increase the participation of black people in foreign trade. Through strategic actions, the MDIC program, which has the partnership of MIR, contributes to reduce historical and structural inequalities, connecting young black people to careers in foreign trade. To this end, opportunities for training and support for professional development, international visibility of products and services offered by black entrepreneurs and recognition of companies that promote racial diversity in foreign trade are offered.
