CONNECTION Acting as an integrative system, the ‘Connection’ Department (‘Conexão’) of UNIFEOB encompasses the Programs on Careers, Alumni, Social Responsibility and Internationalization. ‘Connection’ provides free services for students and former students of the institution, by affording them orientation and follow-up during the academic years and along their professional trajectory, thereby strengthening their intellectual and technical development. The Careers Program provides internship opportunities to students at hundreds of partner companies in the region. The Program also maintains relationships with alumni, providing them with reencounters through the institution’s professional network on LinkedIn, and also ensures special benefits for their continuous improvement.
I N T E R N AT I O N A L I Z AT I O N The Internationalization Program aims to broaden the world vision of students by establishing contact with other cultures as well as with the technical knowledge produced in partner universities from outside Brazil. Reciprocally, in order to establish a more complete global relationship, UNIFEOB also open its doors to professors and students from foreign institutions.

With constant joy, work and effort from several people, we built UNIFEOB, a great educational institution that has over 50 years of history. UNIFEOB has always dedicated itself to being an institution focused on the interests and needs of the community in which it is inserted. Thence, we offer a high-quality education to form professionals at various fields, aiming to contribute to developing our city, our region and also our country, as we have former students with successful careers distributed in all over Brazil. Having a unique Pedagogical Project, aiming at constant improvement and learning through the development of various skills, we see the student from a perspective that goes beyond the market view. In that sense, we think of high education projects that prepare the student to a life filled with challenges and accomplishments.
‘‘
In order to achieve all the projects that integrate our mission, we have a qualified faculty (masters and doctors) and a well-prepared and engaged staff with a constant focus on the student.

The realization of a dream led to the creation of the São João da Boa Vista Educational Foundation (‘Fundação Sanjoanense
TIMELINE
de Ensino’), currently UNIFEOB, a legacy to the entire local community. The ideal of its founder, Dr. Octávio da Silva Bastos, was to gather people and work in favor of knowledge and education. In 1966, a group led by a determined man founded the Law School at São João da Boa Vista municipality, São Paulo state. Ever since then, the current ‘Centro Universitário Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos’ has been only expanding and disseminating its purpose of forming generations of professionals in several fields. The history of the institution is tied to the one of its students and collaborators, depicting the progress of the society as a whole.

The programs have the goal of contributing to train professionals that are highly qualified to develop the city and the region. In order to constantly uphold the progress of students, events that incorporate even more knowledge to their academic lives are frequently organized. During the ‘UNIFEOB Universe’ event, the institution opens its doors to all high school students that are interested in knowing the campi, the programs and also a little bit more about the job market and each career. In turn, UNIFEOB students have the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge to the visitors through works and experiments. Academic Weeks provide a space for debates, discussions, and several other activities that are extremely relevant to the work in several fields, by means of seminars, lectures, short courses, workshops, and practical activities.

The quality of the services offered is also evaluated by the UNIFEOB Ombudsman Office. This communication channel is responsible for receiving manifestations such as complaints, denouncements, commendations, comments and suggestions referring to the services and care provided by the institution, assisting the entire academic community as well as any representative from the society. To complete the circle of excellence in the service provision front, the Relationship Center offers centralized services, having specialized professionals that welcome students with the information needed for undertaking the academic life, all of it gathered in a single place.
