The Federal Institute of Northern Minas Gerais (IFNMG) is initiating new courses aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and innovation, supported by the Pronatec Empreender Project. These courses will take place in 11 cities: Arinos, Araçuaí, Almenara, Diamantina, Janaúba, Januária, Pirapora, Montes Claros, Salinas, Teófilo Otoni, and Porteirinha. Classes are scheduled to start on April 13, taking place from Monday to Thursday in the evening, except for Pirapora where classes will be held in the afternoons.

The courses are entirely free and consist of a total of 200 hours of instruction. Interested participants can register online until March 25. Each course will allow 25 students per class, with 30% of the spots reserved specifically for women, promoting gender inclusivity in the entrepreneurial space. If the number of applications exceeds the available spots, students will be selected through a lottery system, emphasizing equal opportunities for all applicants.

This initiative by IFNMG aims to enhance skill development in entrepreneurship and innovation, encouraging local economic growth and providing valuable resources for aspiring entrepreneurs. Such programs are critical in empowering communities by equipping individuals with essential skills that can lead to job creation and economic advancement within these regions.
