BTG Pactual incorporates educational platform Na Prática in Brazil

Project created by Fundação Educar aims to reinforce the bank’s investments in development and access to quality education

BTG Pactual, the largest investment bank in Latin America, announces the incorporation, through its non-profit entity, of Na Prática, an educational platform that connects young people from all over Brazil to the job market, created by Fundação Estudar. With the inclusion of the project in the portfolio of its Social Responsibility area, the bank reinforces its support for topics related to education and professional qualification, which already permeate several projects managed or encouraged by BTG Pactual.

“Education is one of our pillars at BTG Pactual because we believe that this is one of the best ways to generate lasting development. Our goal is to provide greater access to quality education, encouraging young people from different parts of Brazil to achieve their goals. The arrival of Na Prática to our portfolio will add more possibilities to work towards professional qualification”, explains Roberto Sallouti, CEO of BTG Pactual.

With the incorporation, the then CEO of Fundação Estudar, Anamaíra Spaggiari, leaves her position to lead the project at BTG Pactual, bringing the team dedicated to the initiative. Na Prática has already benefited more than 115 thousand university students throughout the country. With more than 40 million accesses to the portal since its creation, the platform offers courses in both in-person and online formats, in addition to countless contents and curated vacancies and networking events.
