“Fazer Pescar” Program concludes 22nd Edition

On June 6th, at the Teixeira Duarte Professional Development Center in Luanda, the diploma award ceremony was held for the 60 young people who successfully completed the 22nd edition of the “Fazer Pescar” Program and who will now work in several companies of the Teixeira Duarte Group in Angola.

In operation for 12 years, “Fazer Pescar” is one of the social responsibility initiatives that the Teixeira Duarte Group has invested most in and will continue to invest in Angola, having already involved:

• 70 classes (22 editions)
• 816 participants in the training program
• 769 participants integrated into the Group's companies after the training program

All of the Group's business areas in Angola contribute to this Program, training young people in situations of social vulnerability and providing them with employment opportunities so that, autonomously, they can be a fundamental part of the development of their communities.

The training programme lasts 3.5 months and includes a social integration component, integration into the company and placement in the workplace, after which successful trainees are offered an employment contract. Attendance is free and trainees benefit from daily meals, a daily transport allowance, personal accident insurance, uniforms, school supplies and regular medical check-ups.
