With the dynamics of the current market, in constant and accelerated changes, it was necessary to improve the knowledge of professionals. Not only for them, but also for the companies where they work, seeking extra training and applying improvements at work has become an important factor in differentiating themselves from the competition. Despite this need, in practice there are few professionals who effectively dedicate themselves in the midst of professional tasks to improve themselves. According to experts, seeking improvement is a fundamental factor for those who are in the job market.
