In its 137 units, six million people were served by social programs operating in healthcare, sports, leisure and culture. Training courses served over one million professionals in the transport sector. “The figures consolidate SEST SENAT as an institution that is aware of its responsibility, through the efficiency of the transport services that are being provided to society,” says the president of the CNT and SEST SENAT, Senator Clésio Andrade. In the areas of professional education 396,567 people were trained in classrooms, and 54,727 people enrolled on the distance education program in 2010. The 200-plus courses offered by SEST SENAT serve the needs of the market, which is increasingly demanding more qualified professionals to operate in the different functions involved in transport, both in the passengers and cargo areas. In the social promotion, SEST SENAT grew faster in 2010 than it did the year before, serving 700,000 people more than in 2009, an increase of 14%. It served 275,000 people in the medical area, 806,000 in the dental area, 830,000 in health education, and 4.13 million people in major sporting, leisure and culture drives. In themedical area, themainspecialties were general practitioners, with 32%, then ophthalmologists, with 25%. Physiotherapy and psychology, which began in 2010, also had significant numbers, with 20,708 and 6,047 consultations, respectively. In health education, the number of people served last year was also up on 2009. More than 1.9 million people were served in individual actions, campaigns, lectures and seminars on various topics. For the SEST SENAT, physical and cultural activities are also important components for the development of human values. Hence, the units run venues suitable for sports, leisure and cultural activities, such as soccer fields, courts, water parks, gymnasiums, playgrounds, games rooms and barbecue areas.
