The Management in Practice Group emerged in 2015 from the concern of teachers and students involved with the gap between academic work and the needs of organizations. As time went by, what was a challenge, taking scientific knowledge to practice has become an extension program that continues to fulfill its objectives within UFV and contributing to the formation of students.

Its objective is to offer access to management tools to students and entrepreneurs interested in learning and teaching about the proposed topics. In this sense, the program offers workshops, training or workshops on some managerial tool, in order that the participants can interact and share their practical experiences, and thus form a network of knowledge.
