Testimonials
Motriz came to strengthen our public management. We, as government leaders, needed this new perspective, this support, so that public policies are permanent in our municipalities. Together, we are increasingly developing our educational policies to truly transform the lives of our local students.

I was a Public Management Trainee, today I am working as the Institutional Development Subsecretary at the municipality of São Vicente, in the State of São Paulo. And I can say that my professional career in the public service has already been impacted very positively thanks to my participation in the Trainee Program. It was through it that I was able to develop technical and behavioral abilities. It was a very important program in my life.

Motriz has been fundamental in helping us in balancing and finding solutions to our challenges. They continue giving support to the states and municipalities in these key areas: strategic planning and people management in higher management, not to mention education. We believe our country’s development depends on the strengthening of these areas, and Motriz has had a crucial role in this process.

Motriz has contributed a lot to my training through the Ubuntu program, both personally and professionally. I usually say that after the Ubuntu Program what I think and what I believe have much more meaning in my life. That is because the Program contributed for me to transform my workspace into a truly antiracist space.

Motriz is a powerhouse that enables concrete results. With their help, we have advanced in the selection of our team managers based on competences and, regarding literacy, we have achieved impressive results, going from 30% to 94,6% literate students by the 3rd year of elementary school.

A Motriz veio para fortalecer a nossa gestão pública. Nós, como líderes governamentais, precisávamos dessa nova perspectiva, desse suporte, para que as políticas públicas sejam permanentes em nossos municípios. Juntos, desenvolvemos cada vez mais nossas políticas educacionais para verdadeiramente transformar a vida dos nossos alunos locais.

Eu fui Trainee de Gestão Pública, hoje eu estou como subsecretário de Desenvolvimento Institucional na prefeitura municipal de São Vicente, em São Paulo, e eu posso dizer que a minha trajetória pública já foi impactada de maneira muito positiva pela minha participação no TGP. Foi a partir dele que eu consegui desenvolver habilidades técnicas e comportamentais dentro da gestão pública. Foi um programa muito importante para minha vida.

A Motriz tem sido fundamental para nos ajudar a equacionar e buscar soluções para nossos desafios. A Motriz continua dando apoio aos estados e municípios nessas duas áreas que são tão importantes: o planejamento estratégico e a gestão de pessoas na alta direção, além da educação. Acreditamos que o desenvolvimento do nosso país depende do fortalecimento dessas áreas, e a Motriz tem um papel crucial nesse processo.
Washington Bonfim
Secretário de Planejamento do Estado do Piauí
O Ubuntu, programa da Motriz, contribuiu muito para minha formação, tanto pessoal quanto profissional. Eu costumo dizer que o que eu pensava e o que eu acreditava após o Ubuntu teve muito mais significado na minha vida porque é uma formação que colaborou para que eu conseguisse transformar o espaço que eu trabalho em um espaço antirracista, de fato.
