Through an agreement with the Secretariat for Social Promotion, Combating Poverty, Sports and Leisure (SEMPRE), the Bahiana will offer a lato sensu postgraduate course in Social Assistance Management and will carry out the UniversIDADE 60+Ativado project, actions that are part of Vida Nova.

The postgraduate course will offer 300 places for City Hall employees who work with the National Social Assistance Policy (PNAS). The selection process and notice will be published soon by SEMPER.
