Senai initiative brings free training to 22 cities in Paraná, with more than 40 technical courses offered in school trucks. Students can receive scholarships of up to R$600 and certification.
Senai is expanding access to professional training in Paraná with the Mobile Schools project, which will travel to 22 cities in November. With more than 40 free courses, the initiative is part of the “Qualifica Paraná” and “Carretas do Conhecimento” programs, developed in partnership with the state government and Volkswagen do Brasil. Courses range from IT and mechanics to clothing manufacturing and machining, all designed to empower the population and meet the local demand for qualified professionals.
The big novelty of these projects is the format: the classes take place in Senai school trucks, with a complete structure for real-life practice and simulations. In addition, students receive a scholarship of up to R$600 and a certificate, which guarantees an advantage in the search for opportunities in the market. With an average duration of 96 hours, the courses are divided into afternoon and evening shifts, facilitating the participation of all interested parties, even those with a busy work routine.
Expanding access to technical training
Senai's Mobile Schools arrive at a time when professional qualifications are becoming increasingly essential for the job market. The itinerant structure is a strategy to reach regions that are less served by in-person courses and provide quality technical training. According to the government of Paraná, the expectation is that the initiative will also benefit the local economy, as participants will be ready to fill vacancies in essential sectors, such as vehicle maintenance and industrial production.
