The professional courses of Casa de Passagem result in an increase of social inclusion of the young in low income communities, precipitating a smooth entry to the world of the work and activation of their latent ability to generate income. The courses are offered in accordance with the social demand, in groups of 20 pupils.

 

All the courses have a thematic nucleus that reoccurs: professional development, reading stimulus, writing, and logical reasoning. These core proficiencies were concieved in order to provide a stronger supplemental curriculum to the attendees. It is apparent that the most common deficiencies come in the areas of mathematics, as well as in writing and speaking Portuguese fluently.

 

The multidisciplinary team develops many courses throughout the year in the Initiation to the Work program.

Comic Relief/Christian Aid, the Wal-Mart Institute, The State Government of Pernambuco, Arc Network, Farmácia Roval and Refresco Guararapes are the primary financers of these professional courses.

Around 400 youth are enabled, each year, by the courses CP offers.
