In presenting the new options, SENAI Bahia associates Digital Modeling in Civil Construction with the modernization of the sector and the application of project technologies to execution.
“The digital modeling course in civil construction supports the entire construction chain, from project to conception of the works,” states one of the quotes included in the selection process material.
Digital Modeling and Transformation of Civil Construction
The Digital Modeling in Civil Construction course is described by SENAI as training focused on both analog and digital drawings.
It also involves the development of digital models in BIM, following technical standards, norms, and procedures related to quality, health, safety, and the environment.
Within the selection process structure, it appears as one of the bets to meet demand from companies and construction sites that are incorporating digital tools into planning and project management.
On the other hand, the hybrid proposal aims to serve those who need to balance study and work.
A portion of the activities takes place in a virtual environment, with in-person meetings organized according to the dynamics of each class.
The institution states that, overall, the 2026.1 portfolio includes in-person and hybrid courses.
Renewable Energy Systems and Market Demand
In the block of courses related to the electrical area, SENAI Bahia included Renewable Energy Systems among the offerings with new classes.
The training is expected to last 24 months, according to institutional descriptions.
The course is presented as focused on activities related to development, installation, operation, and maintenance of renewable systems.
It also involves the implementation of management and energy efficiency actions, following technical, environmental, and safety standards.
The announcement of the selection process features a statement attributed to Antonyony Santana, identified as the manager of SENAI’s unit in Feira de Santana.
“The renewable area is another field that continues to rise, with numerous job opportunities.
SENAI already offers a technical course focused on these technologies for expanding energy generation sources, as well as optimized processes for distribution and control of systems,” he comments.
Meanwhile, the expansion of courses in this area follows students’ demand for training connected to distributed generation, energy efficiency, and system maintenance.
These areas typically require technical qualifications for entry and progression in the market.
Biotechnology Gains Space Among Technical Courses
Another bet from SENAI Bahia for 2026.1 is the expansion of classes for the technical course in Biotechnology.
The training is described as focusing on laboratory practices and in routines of analysis and quality control.
In the announcement of the process, the course is associated with activities such as microbiological analysis, genetic and applied procedures across different sectors.
The material indicates that the technician’s work may involve industry, health, agribusiness, and the environment.
“The technical course in biotechnology aims to meet a growing demand from the industry, both in chemical and pharmaceutical areas as well as in other related segments,” states another excerpt in direct quotation.
The same presentation brings an evaluation from Sérgio Martins, mentioned in the context of technological transformations in the industry.
“The global transition to a sustainable economy makes biotechnology essential in the development of solutions for low-carbon industrial processes, production of biofuels, agricultural bioinputs, and biopharmaceutical products, placing the area at the core of technological transformations anticipated by the Industrial Map,” he reinforces.
