Mato Grosso municipalities offer free commercial driver licence training

Councilor Afonso Aragão of Rondonópolis introduced a proposal for a free course to train drivers for categories D and E, aiming to strengthen the city’s logistics sector and expand employment opportunities. He emphasized the need for municipal investment, stating, "O município precisa fomentar essa mão de obra para o mercado de trabalho. Rondonópolis tem como um de seus principais pilares o transporte e precisamos preparar profissionais para atender essa demanda."

Separately, the Programa Mais Motoristas, administered by the SEST SENAT in Nova Mutum, opened registrations for free upgrades to licence categories C, D or E and comprehensive professional training. The program, covering medical, psychological, toxicology exams and fees, serves 25 municipalities in the region and prioritises women registered in CadÚnico, socially vulnerable individuals, the unemployed and large families. Secretary Reginaldo Luiz de Oliveira noted, "Iniciativas como essa facilitam o acesso das pessoas a uma profissão regulamentada e demandada pelo mercado, promovendo inclusão e mobilidade social."
