Embraer held its first class on March 19, 2001, in São José dos Campos, São Paulo. Their learning methodology includes, among other distinguishing features, the use of a “learn-by-doing” strategy.
They also use prototyping to encourage teams to transform their ideas into tangible solutions for real-world challenges.
The program also reinforces the development of personal skills related to attitudes, behaviors, and emotional intelligence, which promote teamwork, flexibility, communication, leadership, empathy, and other emotional and behavioral abilities that are equally important in the workplace.
