Майже 11 тисяч кур'єрів і малих підприємців вже закінчили середню школу за ініціативою iFood

On last Tuesday, February 4th, to the rhythm of rapper Hungria, iFood celebrated the graduation of over 5,000 participants in the latest edition of its "My High School Diploma" program. Since the initiative launched in 2022, approximately 11,000 delivery drivers, shop owners and employees of iFood partner stores, and their families have completed their studies. During the event, the company announced an expansion of its commitment to education through iFood Conecta, a new platform that will offer technical and higher education courses from R$99.00 onwards, in partnership with Anhanguera Educacional.

According to internal research conducted in 2024, the study also highlighted the positive impacts of the program: 451 participants reported increased income, while 281 stated they were enrolled in higher or technical level courses after completing secondary school.

 The impact of education on our ecosystem is immense. Nearly 11,000 lives have been transformed, broadening their prospects for personal and professional growth. Our goal now is to offer these individuals the chance to progress further, acquiring new knowledge and increasing their earning potential through vocational training," explains Luana Ozemela, CSO and Vice President of Impact and Sustainability at iFood.

Launched in 2022, Meu Diploma do Ensino Médio has already trained almost 11,000 people – the equivalent of 275 full classrooms – establishing itself as the largest private sector education project for EJA (young adults and adults) initiatives.

The program provides free support for students to prepare for the National Examination for Certification of Skills for Young and Adult Individuals (Encceja), administered by the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep), linked to the Ministry of Education (MEC). My Diploma offers study materials, tutoring, and mock exams, entirely free and online, accessible via mobile phone.  

The initiative reinforces iFood's commitment to education. Currently, approximately 261,000 iFood delivery drivers have not completed this educational stage. By 2025, the platform is expanding the program with 35,000 new scholarships. Interested parties can apply now by офіційний веб-сайт Or for more information via WhatsApp, at (11) 4040-3140.
