This was the third recruitment session to register local workers. The first two took place in Barra Longa, when 646 workers were registered by Sine.
Renova expects to generate 3,800 jobs in the region that stretches from Mariana to Santa Cruz do Escalvado. Of this number, 70% is hoped to be local labor.
The action addresses the municipalities impacted by the collapse of the dam and that do not have a Sine post, as Francisco Carlos Lima of the socioeconomic area of the Renova Foundation explains. “We need to make the service providers hire professionals from the town. So, we have taken action and have begun to collect resumes”.
