Alternatives in vocational education finance: an example of participation by employers in Brazil

This paper discusses the strategy a group of businessmen adopted in the establishment of a vocational school in Montes Claros, Brazil. Obliged to struggle for financial survival without a predictable source of funding, the school became adept at controlling costs and generating revenues from a variety of sources. Today it represents a novel and successful approach to vocational school finance, in which costs are divided between employers and students, with only minimal contributions from public funds.
