Partnership Offers Qualification in Areas Such as Cybersecurity and Networking, with International Certification, to Boost Employability in the Amazon Region.
In a strategic initiative to warm up the technology market in the North of the country, Cisco and the National Service of Commercial Learning in Pará (Senac-PA) announced a partnership to offer 500 spots in free courses in information technology (IT). The project aims to train professionals to meet the high demand generated by the COP 30 event in Belém and, at the same time, strengthen the tech sector in the region sustainably.
The collaboration, which will be carried out through the renowned Cisco Networking Academy program, will offer more than 20 classes, with the first lessons starting as early as July 2025. Participants who complete the training will receive a nationally and internationally recognized certification, a great differential for their resumes in an increasingly competitive market.

A Strategic Opportunity for COP 30

The meeting will not only serve to present the project but also to encourage the recruitment of future students by local companies, creating a direct bridge between training and job opportunities, especially for roles during the climate conference.
