86 SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 2018 YEARBOOK

In partnership with the IOCHPE Foundation,
we defined what would be the basis for the pro-
motion of the Formare Project to the Cosmet-
ics, Toiletries and Fragrances sector, which is
focused on professional education in commer-
cial environments, based on the educational and
voluntary action of collaborators of the compa-
ny itself. The project helps young people under
social vulnerability situations and aims to de-
velop skills for the exercise of citizenship and
social inclusion in the labor market. It is com-
posed by customized courses, developed in sev-
eral professional services according to the com-
panies needs. “In some cases, students who do the
training program end up becoming employees”, ex-
plained Claudio Viggiani, president of the ABI-
HPEC Institute.

In June 2017, a cooperation agreement was signed
between the ABIHPEC Institute and Intercoif-
fure Brazil, through the creation of a support
fund coordinated by a Management Committee
for the promotion and development of the Edu-
cation for Life Project. The project supports in-
stitutions that offer training to professionals in
the beauty industry to people under a social vul-
nerability situation, thus promoting employabil-
ity and entrepreneurship.

After being issued a call for applications of in-
stitutions, the participants were evaluated by the
Management Committee, according to the follow-
ing criteria: governance, quality control of teach-
ing and efficiency measurements, and three in-
stitutions were selected: Casa do Menor de São
Miguel Arcanjo (RJ), Instituto Profissionalizante
Mangueira (RJ) and Projeto Tesourinha (SP).
