At the meeting, which brought together young people from different areas of society in the region, he reiterated that the State has the obligation to promote policies and adopt legal instruments to encourage companies and other employers, with a view to securing the first job for young people recently graduated in the various institutions.
Jaca Maurício also defended the continuous promotion of young people’s participation in the country’s decision-making bodies.
On the other hand, the associative leader encouraged the youth to guide the promotion of the culture of work, as it is an important instrument for the development of the country, as well as the defense of the identity and the historical-cultural tradition of the country.
“We have an obligation to participate in the economic development of the country, with creative and innovative ideas”, he maintained.
The CNJ’s secretary for projects and programs, André de Araújo, when talking about entrepreneurship and its impact on women’s empowerment, encouraged youth to make better use of technological resources to promote business in the community.
