First-gen Students Graduate at Puratos Bakery Schools
The first generation of 11 graduates recently finished training at the Puratos Bakery School in São Paolo. The students, aged 17 to 21, received their “Professional Qualification for Bakery, Confectionery and Chocolate,” and are the first graduates of the program at the Puratos Bakery School in Brazil. They each completed 828 hours of training over two years, and received the necessary theoretical knowledge in the areas of baking, patisserie, and chocolate. They all also followed practical training in the pilot plants and laboratories of Senai Horácio Augusto da Silveira.

The school in São Paolo is the second education project undertaken by Puratos. The company launched the first education project in India, where Puratos has operated since 2008. The graduates’ employment status speaks of the program’s success: 95% of students work for either Puratos or one of its clients. The second classes will graduate in summer 2017, among which 80% have already been offered a job.
