📋 Tender Overview
Belem Municipal Guard (PA) servers and their families are having an unprecedented opportunity to enter the digital world. Many of them have never had contact with a computer and now participate in basic computer classes, carried out at the corporations own headquarters. The initiative is part of the Computers for Inclusion Program, from the Ministry of Communications (MCOM), which this July enables employees of the Guarda Administrative and Operational areas, promoting digital literacy and expanding technological inclusion.
To enable the action, the Gustavo Hessel Institute (IGH), which acts as a computer reconditioning center (CRC) in the capital of Para, donated more than 30 computers and teaches classes. In all, 120 students are distributed in nine classes, receiving training focused on the use of digital tools and applications that can support both work and daily life.
To bring electronic equipment and digital literacy to servers who have never had this opportunity is to ensure qualification and dignity to the public service. The Computers for Inclusion Program seeks to transform lives, assist the professional side of Brazilians and reduce inequalities, says Communications Minister Frederico de Siqueira Filho.
Inspector Sergio Holanda de Melo, an administrative official, had never used computers while working in the guard operating sector. Now he celebrates the chance to learn.
I am knowing this computer story a little deeper. As I came from the operational part I have a little more difficulty, the program comes to help us a lot in this improvement in relation to the use of computer and the programs we use, said Sergio.
The Ministry of Communications aims to qualify and digitally include people by various actions and programs, with the purpose of ensuring access to technology and reducing digital exclusion in Brazil. Student Adrya Lohana, 14, daughter of one of the inspectors, also celebrates the opportunity.
This work of the Ministry of Communications, through the Computers Program for inclusion, is very important to all of us. I could not take a computer course, but now I can participate and study to learn more and more, he said.
About the program Almem of recovering electronic equipment from public agencies and banks, the program enables young people, adults and the elderly with basic computer courses and computer maintenance, providing the qualification of these people for the job market and greater autonomy in the digital world.
All compromised computers are later donated to associations with digital inclusion projects, indigenous villages, quilombola territories and remote and rural areas of the country.
Equipment that cannot be reused undergo an environmentally appropriate disposal process, ensuring that there is no damage to the environment.
