Recently, the Caixa Jovem Aprendiz Program released new vacancies for young people aged 14 to 17 who want to enter the job market. This is a great chance for a first job.

The contracts are for two years and all receive an average remuneration of R$945 per month, in addition to being entitled to all the labor benefits of the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT). Check out!

Like all other companies, Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF) is obliged, by law, to have between 5% and 15% of its employees being apprentices. As it is one of the largest banks in the country, it is common for opportunities to always come and now it is knocking on the door again.

In short, the Young Apprentice Program at Caixa and at other companies in general is intended to provide opportunities for young workers who wish to develop professionally.

Therefore, the work routine comes with theoretical and practical knowledge that improves the performance of the young Apprentice. 

Thanks to the Apprenticeship Law, contracts for this special work regime last two years, and during that time, young people must comply with the program's rules.

In any case, during this period the apprentice can prove that he is really dedicated to the job and can even be hired at the end of the contract.

So, we have already seen that for young people looking for their first chance at a job, this is an opportunity that should not be thrown away. Therefore, check who is entitled to compete for vacancies in the Caixa Young Apprentice Program!

In general, the Law defines that young people between 14 and 24 years old can be part of the apprentice program. However, companies that define the age range of interest and other more specific rules. The requirements to be part of the Young Cash Apprentice are as follows:

Caixa employees usually join the financial institution through a competition, but in the case of young apprentices it is different. The selection of apprentices for these new vacancies will take place through CEF's partner teaching organizations, so it will be necessary to use one of them to apply for selection.

Caixa offers, on its portal, a specific section for everyone to find these organizations: Caixa's Partner Entities Portal. So, just access the portal, select the state you live in and check which institutions are available in your location.

It is worth remembering that the entire application process can be both online and in person, so young people need to be ready to leave their homes and go to the partner entity, if necessary. Furthermore, the results of the selection must also be online, with the institutions getting in touch with the selected young people.

Caixa did not say exactly how many vacancies are available for this selection right now, however the law defines that around 5% to 15% of its staff must be apprentices. In that case, there should be a good amount of vacancies open this year end.

So, don't miss the chance to apply for a vacancy and go now to the Caixa portal to check where and how to register for the job.

In short, this is a special work regime that mainly serves students and therefore it is common for many people to imagine that the young apprentice has no rights.

However, this is not exactly how it works and, quite the contrary, the apprentice is entitled to all CLT labor benefits. 

The Apprenticeship Law informs that the hiring of this young person must always appear in the work card and he must enjoy all the rights of the CLT. In this way, the Young Apprentice is guaranteed the following benefits:

To close this part, we have to make it clear that some of these rights may vary through an agreement between the company and the apprentice, so be aware of the conditions. In addition, see now how is the situation of those who are fired.

Well, we've been saying from the beginning that the rights and duties of apprentices are very similar to those of permanent workers. In this case it is also no different, as the Young Apprentice can be fired if he does not comply with the contract rules.

One of the main causes of breach of contract between the company and the apprentice is when the contractor starts to perform poorly at school or even miss classes.

Even if he is dedicating himself at work, attendance and good school performance are crucial to keeping the contract.

In the case of dismissal for just cause, the Young Apprentice does not receive any benefits. However, if the dismissal is due to the end of the contract period, the worker receives the payments to which he is entitled and can still be hired by the company.
