FGV Comunicação, in partnership with Fundação Itaú and the Brazilian Association of Business Communication (Aberje), announces a new class for the professional master's program in Digital Communication and Data Culture. This is the second consecutive year of the partnership, which aims to contribute to the training of professionals working in the third sector or in companies with structured areas of ESG.
