Aliança Empreendedora launches online platform providing free training for migrants who want to start new undertakings in Portugal
The "Tamo Junto - Portugal" platform focuses on migrants from Brazil and Portuguese-speaking African countries and offers content in European Portuguese
SÃO PAULO, June 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Launched last month, the "Tamo Junto – Portugal" platform is the result of an initiative by the Brazilian organization Aliança Empreendedora, with the support of MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Solve and of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. It is an expansion of "Tamo Junto - Brasil" and offers online courses and content focused on the development of behavioral skills related to starting a business, such as online sales, financial management, legislation, taxes, types of receipts and invoices.
Two courses are now available for enrollment: "Because you and everyone can do business" and "How to own a business in Portugal: where to start". The contents are, for now, in European Portuguese. To register, simply access the website: http://tamojunto.pt/.
"Many migrants end up becoming entrepreneurs in Portugal because they are unable to fit into the formal labor market and there are few free online support initiatives, especially for those in a situation of economic vulnerability. Tamo Junto Portugal is here to help them in the challenges of entrepreneurship in a country with a different culture and legislation," explains Aliança Empreendedora director Cristina Filizzola, who is responsible for expanding the platform in Portugal.
In Brazil, the Tamo Junto platform, created in 2014, has 108,000 members and has already won awards such as Solver Team from MIT Solve, the "Good Jobs and Inclusive Entrepreneurship" from GM and Experian and the "The Gulbenkian Award for Adult Literacy". All of these are in partnership with MIT Solve.
