From unemployment to opportunity: how a free course changed Rafael's destiny

When all seems lost: the weight of uncertainty.

Rafael had always been a hard-working man, but he lost his job during a restructuring at the company where he had worked for eight years. Suddenly, everything became uncertainty, bills and despair.

He tried everything. He handed in resumes, did odd jobs, and sought help from acquaintances. Even so, no one would hire him because he lacked up-to-date qualifications. Rafael felt stuck in time and invisible in the market.

Every month, the situation got tighter. He had to sell his cell phone, his son's bicycle and pay his rent late. The shame of not being able to support his family kept him awake at night.

His self-esteem plummeted. He felt that at 37, it was too late to change careers or learn something new. It was as if the world had closed its doors.

An unexpected discovery: the spark of hope.

It was during a sleepless night that Rafael found an article about free courses offered by Fundação Bradesco. “Courses with certificate, without paying anything?” He thought it was too good to be true.

But something about the article caught his attention. It was a testimonial from another man who had gotten a job after completing a business degree. It sparked a spark he had forgotten about.

He spent hours reading through the course options available. There were options in several areas: technology, finance, education, entrepreneurship. For the first time in months, he felt a real glimmer of hope.

That very morning, he decided that he could no longer wait for someone to give him a chance. He himself needed to become his best opportunity.

The right choice: the first step to change.

Rafael registered on the Virtual School website and started the course. "Customer service". It was an area he already knew and was comfortable with. For the first time, he felt in control of his own life.

He studied every day after dropping his son off at school. With discipline, he progressed quickly. The platform was simple, the content was objective and best of all: he was really learning.

In two months, Rafael completed three courses. He printed the certificates, reworked his resume and handed them in with confidence. Now he had proof that he was keeping up to date.

The most important thing is that Rafael started to believe in himself again. Each completed module was like a personal achievement, as if he was cleaning away the mud that was preventing him from moving forward.

The turnaround that changed everything: conquest and transformation.

With his new resume, Rafael got an interview at an appliance store. He arrived confident, talked about the courses and surprised the manager with his attitude and knowledge.

Two weeks later, he was hired. He started as an assistant, but in just three months he was promoted to attendant. His certificates made a difference, but his confidence made the difference.

Now, with a fixed salary and commission, he was able to pay off his outstanding debts and started making plans again. He even started saving money for an in-person technical course in the future.

Today, Rafael recommends Fundação Bradesco courses to everyone he knows. He is living proof that knowledge opens doors and that a click on the internet can transform an entire story.
