Social Impact Program

The Need in 2026

The pressing need addressed by Toti involves the high unemployment rates and economic challenges faced by refugees and migrants in Brazil. These individuals often find it difficult to secure formal employment due to language barriers and limited access to job networks. Toti’s initiatives aim to bridge this gap by providing high-quality tech education and job placement support, thereby empowering refugees and migrants to achieve economic stability and enhance their social integration.

The Project We Fund

Toti’s project focuses on expanding its model to train and integrate professionals into the job market through intensive bootcamps in Data Analysis, Full Stack, and Entrepreneurship. The program combines technical training with socio-emotional skill development and job search preparation. The goal is to enhance the employability and socio-economic development of 150 individuals, especially targeting socially vulnerable groups, including Black people, women, and transgender individuals.

The Result

The project include training 150 participants, certifying 112, with a strong focus on inclusivity (50% Black and Brown participants and 50% women). The program aims for a minimum attendance rate of 75% and a 30% employability rate post-training. By fostering connections through recruitment fairs and continuous monitoring, the project seeks to ensure high participant satisfaction and effective integration into the job market.
