Participants will have in-person classes at the Senai Vila Leopoldina, in the evening, and graduates may be hired by the operator as job openings arise in the six months following graduation.

Why Is It Worth Participating?

Sou do Rio de janeiro. E tenho grande interesse em trabalhar na Profissão de Maquinista de Trem. Não tenho experiência no setor e também nunca tive oportunidade na tela do meu antigo computador tinha uma foto da Locomotiva da RUMO, olhava todos os dias e ficava ali, Viajando em ser um Condutor. Hoje tenho 67 anos e mesmo com esses 67 janeiros me vejo conduzindo com responsabilidade e atenção e treinamento uma Locomotiva nos Trilhos de Minas Gerais.
