BRAZIL – Integration of young people through professional training

Context

Today, in the State of Rio and all over Brazil, the gastronomy sector lacks qualified and available manpower. There are several gastronomy courses, but most of them are very expensive and only middle to upper class persons can take part.

With the football World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016, Brazil, and especially Rio, will host a great number of tourists. The demand for trained human resources is booming..

Children with cerebral motor disabilities are handicapped children, physically and mentally, who need long-term physiotherapy. These children are often neglected by their next of kin, whereas they need special attention and almost permanent stimulation.

Project description

The Monegasque Red Cross coordinates and co-finances a restaurant-school in an outlying district of Rio de Janeiro, in partnership with the Cuomo Foundation of Monaco and the association “Casa do Menor”, which has been working for over 25 years to give children a future.

This project intends to enable youngsters from Brazilian urban areas to get away from insecurity through professional qualifications and integration into the labour market by developing the ability of the Brazilian association “Casa do Menor” to provide training and support to the professional integration of youngsters in risky situations.

Two specific objectives have been defined in this action :

• To enable youngsters from the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro to get qualified jobs in the restaurant business.
• To generate income to take part in the financing of the professionalization sector of the association “Casa do Menor”.

Results

Thanks to the joint efforts of each of the partners, almost 100 youngsters are trained every year in cooking, waiting on tables, and bartending.

Professional training is theoretical and practical, just like in the restaurant-schools that we know. Courses in citizenship, respect and active participation are integrated into it.

Youngsters are selected based on social criteria, they are followed throughout the training and afterwards. Thanks to partnerships with hotels, restaurants and the Brazilian State, youngsters are followed up to their integration into the labour market thanks first to an internship, then a permanent employment enabling them and their families to escape from insecurity and drug trafficking.

Results

Casa do Menor established throughout Brazil and having branches in Europe, is an association that has been working for close to 25 years in favour of children and teenagers of Brazilian outlying suburbs who quite often find themselves enrolled into drug or arms trafficking. To do so, it offers various social programmes, among them professional training and access to culture. Through its Chairman, Father Renato Chiera, the Monegasque Red Cross has been sought after for this project.

The Cuomo Foundation, an independent and private humanitarian organisation based in Monaco, is present essentially in two sectors: education and social aid. It has been active for over 10 years everywhere in the world: in Africa (Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso), in Asia (India, Vietnam, Afghanistan), in North America (Haiti), in South America (Brazil) and in Europe (France, Italy and Monaco). Specialised in international solidarity and communication, it provides to this project professional expertise and an important financial support.
