Galena runs an intensive four-month program that assesses students' vocation, provides training, connects graduates to partner companies and offers post-employment support. Students do not pay during training and only pay Galena after placement—and only if hired at a salary of R$2,000 or more. The company reports having received more than 21,000 applications and is operating cohort-based intakes (the second cohort graduates at the end of March and the next starts in April 2022). Corporate partners include iFood, QuintoAndar, Cora, Unilever, Stone, Nubank, Alelo, XP, Arco, Dell and PetLove. Galena intends to use new funding to invest in technology, product development and talent acquisition and aims to help 50,000 young people into the labor market over the next five years. Founders Eduardo Mufarej and Guilherme Luz previously ran Somos Educacao and sold it to Kroton in late 2018 for USD 2.3 billion.
