The Company maintains a partnership with a nearby state school. In this school, a study classroom was structured and a vocational technical course was funded for 16- to 17-year-olds students, with the possibility of hiring these young people to the company's staff.

Donations of computer equipment not used by the company are made, due to the technological update to recognized needy institutions that can make good use of the equipment.
