The selection process for the Nextel Institute programs takes place twice a year, the first being in mid-April and the second in mid-October, according to the Annual Calendar for the Institutes. It consists of the three steps below:
Step I:
Dissemination of programs / projects in the institutional sites, in schools, in the institutes and at Nextel itself. The materials used are: posters, folders, and other selection mechanisms. The company's mural is also used, the magazine Direct Connect (bimonthly) and iNex, the company intranet.
Step II:
All the candidates participate in a lecture, group dynamics and individual interviews for analysis of social and economic vulnerability and interest in the course. After the interviews, the Evaluation Committee evaluates the profile of the young people according to the Institute’s prerequisites and the interest of the young people in the opportunity.
