Project Pescar

Frameport Pescar Project Unit

The Frameport Pescar Project Unit, part of the broader Projeto Pescar initiative, was created with the purpose of offering real opportunities for transformation to young people in situations of social vulnerability. Through professional training, human development, and preparation for the job market, the project aims to form conscious, ethical, and skilled citizens.

Since its founding on March 3, 2003, the Frameport unit has graduated several groups of teenagers, with technical training focused on Wood Technology. Training has also been offered in the Commercial area (Customer Service) and in the Administrative area through the course “Learning to Be an Entrepreneur,” in partnership with SEBRAE Nacional.

Comprehensive Training

In addition to technical qualifications, the young participants receive a broad educational program in areas such as:

• Human development and citizenship

• Occupational safety and health

• Computer skills, hygiene, and personal and professional etiquette

• Drug prevention and sexual education

• Teamwork, arts, and environmental awareness

• The 5S philosophy and principles

• Labor and traffic legislation

• Career guidance, motivation, quality, and productivity

• Theater and personal expression

Activities take place every morning, offering a practical, reflective, and transformative learning routine.

About Projeto Pescar

Founded in 1988, Projeto Pescar aims to mobilize and support Brazilian companies in creating units focused on developing young people in vulnerable situations. Today, there are over 70 active units across 9 Brazilian states, which have already trained and integrated more than 8,500 young people into the job market. There are plans for expansion, with five new units currently being implemented.

Since 1995, the project has been managed by the Fundação Projeto Pescar, which allows any company to join the initiative and contribute to its social and institutional impact. The Foundation has received international recognition, with awards granted by institutions such as the World Bank, UNESCO, and the American Chambers of Commerce in both Brazil and the United States.
