State lives a skilled labor crisis! With almost 85 thousand professionals needed to meet the demands of the industry, the state faces a gigantic challenge.
Get ready to discover how one of the Brazilian states is facing one of the biggest professional qualification crises in recent times.
As unexpected as it may seem, Piauí, in the midst of industrial growth, is about to experience a true collapse of qualified labor.
Over the next three years, the state will have to find and train almost 85 professionals to fill the gaps in a constantly expanding job market. But is this goal feasible? And what are the solutions to avoid an economic collapse?

According to the Industrial Work Map, prepared by the National Industrial Observatory (ONI) of the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), Piauí will need approximately 84 thousand qualified professionals to meet industrial demands by 2027.
This number includes both new workers, who need to be trained, and the retraining of professionals already employed, who will need to update their skills to remain competitive in the market.
The state's expanding economy has intensified the need for new professional profiles and required a process of continuous updating in local industries.
The demand for new professionals continues to grow, and the market is mainly looking for qualified workers in different areas.
It is estimated that at least 15 thousand people will need to be trained to meet the creation of new job vacancies and replace those who will leave the formal market.
This need for fast and efficient training becomes one of the biggest challenges for the education and training sector in the state.
Requalification: a necessary path
In addition to training new workers, industries in Piauí also face the challenge of retraining around 70 thousand professionals who already work in the sector.
The modernization of processes and technologies requires that these workers undergo training focused on new skills.
The so-called hard skills, technical skills such as operating machines and equipment, are among the most sought after, but the market also values soft skills, which include emotional intelligence, critical thinking and creativity.
Another important aspect of this requalification is training in occupational health and safety, with a focus on updated standards and regulations.
It is crucial that workers are able to operate safely in their work environments., which includes everything from inspecting facilities to the proper use of protective equipment.
The areas most affected by the shortage of professionals
To understand the magnitude of this problem, it is necessary to highlight the areas that suffer most from the lack of qualified workers.
Below are the industries that will demand the largest number of professionals in the coming years:
- Logistics and Transportation (19 thousand vacancies)
In this area, opportunities are concentrated in production control technicians, cargo vehicle drivers, storekeepers and warehouse workers, among other roles.
The growth of this sector in Piauí, driven by the expansion of trade and product distribution, means that the demand for professionals is continuous and urgent.
- Construction (15 thousand vacancies)
Civil construction also stands out as one of the hottest areas in the state.
Professionals such as earthmoving machine operators, civil works assistants, and masonry and foundation workers are in high demand, especially in large infrastructure projects that are under development.
- Maintenance and Repair (8 thousand vacancies)
Automotive vehicle maintenance mechanics, electronic maintenance electricians and permanent way maintenance workers are among the most sought-after professionals.
The demand for maintenance, both in structures and industrial equipment, is growing, reflecting technological advances in local industries.
- Food and Beverage (5 thousand vacancies)
The food industry is also booming in Piauí, with opportunities for bakers, confectioners, and equipment operators in the manufacture of bread, pasta, chocolates, and more.
The food sector, traditionally strong in the region, continues to expand and generate jobs.
- Metalworking (4 thousand vacancies)
Automotive assemblers, metal alloy welding and cutting workers, and metal structure painters are examples of positions that need to be filled.
The growing industrialization of Piauí depends on qualified professionals to deal with complex manufacturing processes.
The future of Piauí's industry
If the state is unable to qualify the necessary number of professionals to meet industrial demands, it could face serious economic difficulties.
The growth of the industry, which drives the development of Piauí, depends on a qualified and updated workforce.
Without this, productivity may be compromised, and investments in infrastructure and new technologies will not achieve the expected results.
Therefore, the question remains: Will Piauí be able to overcome the qualification challenge and avoid a collapse in the industry in the coming years?
The answer depends on coordinated action between the government, the private sector and educational institutions. The future of the local economy is at stake, and the next steps will be crucial in defining the direction of the state.
Yes, how do I send my resume?
Not only Piauí. But Brazil, especially the North and Northeast, as long as the government gives this Bolsa Família, the people do not want to work. There should be jobs, with fair wages. Then Brazil would be a powerhouse.
I completely agree with you.
There are jobs for people who don't want to work.
There really are jobs! And the salary? Well, they want to pay any minimum wage to those who are qualified and still require experience in several areas. That's the difference! If they have full employment, they should continue to train and value professionals because they are the ones who make the country grow!!!
You said it all 👏👏👏👏
Companies certainly need employees but do not give them the value they deserve.
Exactly.
Germany has a family allowance and is an industrial powerhouse. This talk about not working for a family allowance is pure nonsense. 600 reais of BF is not even enough to eat properly. The problem is that today in Brazil the vast majority of Brazilians earn this minimum wage, and that's when they find it.
I am a Mechanical Engineer and I live in Piauí. I actually met people who said that their babassu oil factory went bankrupt because of the Bolsa Família program. However, this company basically bought the broken ****, labor from many entire families, from children to the elderly, who were receiving a miserable amount for large volumes of babassu ****, in other words, semi-slave labor.
The Bolsa Família program really came to remove this level of misery from man towards the man himself who calls himself a Christian.
And for your information, today the Bolsa Família program was reformulated and re-registered after the end of the Bolsonaro government, when many people were registered for the perks. Today, if a child misses school, the grant is cut, that is, the grant is for a new population in the near future.
And by the way, here in Piauí, as in the Northeast, with little industrialization compared to the center-south of the country, wages are very low and there are few job opportunities with more decent salaries compared to the southeast, which is why there are still so many people from the Northeast in São Paulo. The exodus is not over.
But certainly the industrialization of the northeast region with refineries, automobile factories and oil production will also bring more people to the north and northeast, but of course, with greater specialization and education of our children, we will have more presidents from the Northeast in Brazil in the future.
Do the people of PI really want to work? Since PI, like all NE, people are not very keen on work, they prefer to live off handouts and serve as **** for PT Lula
Do you know Piauí ****? Go there, you faggot!
I never talk about things I don't know, look around so I don't talk nonsense.
There are a lot of people “employed” with the “benefit” of the state…
Become a scoundrel. Then sink!
If we analyze it more specifically, it is not just Piauí that has a shortage of jobs. It is the North and Northeast, because citizens earn money without working and do not want to lose this little job.
Just look at Pernambuco, a jeans factory closed in the land of seamstresses!
There is an urgent need to review sponsorships.
There must be so much money that the North and Northeast spend 31% of the sponsored amount on lotteries!!
