2 hrs confidence:
| do trabalho social [continue to] update themselves / brush up by taking further courses in their field. Explanation: I think the emphasis should be on the "update" notion. Sometimes "aperfeiçoamento" is translated as "brush-up courses"; the choice would depend on the overall context. Since your text seems to be promotional in nature, "update" sounds a little more positive. |
