Created over more than five years in the industrial field facilities, the training center for the social project "Learning to be a Professional" yearly graduates around a hundred of new good professionals, duly trained and ready for the working market. At least 10% of these newcomers are immediately employed by our shipyard just after conclusion of the course.

Due to the lack of qualified manpower that the naval sector has been facing, and foreseeing this crisis, the shipyard has preceded this problem and since 2006 has invested in the graduation of new welders, torchmen, platers, mounters and grinders duly qualified and certificated by the Surveillance Bureaus.

The course is free and offered to the nearby inhabitants. It takes 320 hours and enables the new professional to get the specific qualification for the range of possibilities disposed by the national/regional market.

This is Social Responsibility!

The "Desafio Solar Brasil" (Brazil Solar Contest) has been in scene since 2009 and is the first in the country involving vessels moved by solar energy. It is set by Rio de Janeiro Federal University and its main objective is to stimulate the improving of new technologies to generate clean and renewable energies, connecting research centers and still presenting the society the new potential of these energies applied to service, leisure and transport vessels.

Ten teams from Rio de Janeiro and Santa Catarina states took part in the fifth phase of the contest that happened in Florianópolis (capital of Santa Catarina) last February. The competition now figures as one of the greatest innovation and technological educative enterprises in our country.

The use of solar energy, along with other sources of "clean energy" is being considered to propel greater vessels. The Nautic Pole team thinks in developing projects for hybrid vessels to collect garbage and also for passengers transport through Guanabara Bay in Rio.

Cassinu Group, as a constant stimulator and always approving new alternatives for the self-sustainable development of the planet, holds this idea and helps to improve this project forwards.

"Brazil Kitchen" Project is one of the Social Acts led by FIRJAN/SESI (The Industry Committee), aiming to teach the population to include new healthy nutritious habits.

All the attendees with 100% of presence receive receipt books, certificate and a kit composed by a folder, copybook, apron and cap. The course is offered to all the (interested) employees, their familiars and the surrounding community in general in certain periods of each year. Around 50/70 applicants take this course.

In order to protect our collaborators on the easiest and effective way as possible, Cassinu Group has received imported H1N1 and conventional vaccines from the Industry Federation – FIRJAN. Thus, we promoted a weekly vaccination program. We engaged to clearly transmit the information so that all the patients could feel easy as to the preventive actions. In total, 180 persons were immunized and the major objective of our Group is to always promote health to our employees. Good life quality in the working environment is our constant concern.
