Take a free technical course at the Federal Institute and receive a scholarship of R$ 1,425.97 in partnership with the multinational XCMG; there are 45 open positions for Mechanical Technician at IFSULDEMINAS with the right to a formal employment contract.
The degree combines online content with in-person meetings on Saturdays and may be the gateway for those who wish to teach mathematics in basic education or simply deepen their knowledge in the field.
Classes will start in the second semester of 2025, and applications are already open on the Q-Selection portal until April 25.
Flexible Education for Those Looking to Reinvent Themselves
According to the IFCE announcement, the course will be offered at the hubs in Camocim, Itapipoca, Meruoca, Orós, and Ubajara, all in the state of Ceará. Each unit has 36 available slots, totaling 180 opportunities for new students.
Despite the focus on distance education, the degree requires mandatory in-person meetings.
These meetings, which will take place on Saturdays, aim to promote practical activities and in-person assessments, ensuring the quality of teaching and the connection with the support hubs.
Additionally, students will have access to synchronous (live) classes, providing a more interactive experience closer to that of a conventional classroom.
The rest of the content will be made available asynchronously, meaning the student can access it at their own pace, making it easier to balance with work, family, or other activities.
Who Can Participate?
To apply, it is necessary to have completed high school and taken the Enem between 2015 and 2024. Performance on the national exam will be used as a selection criterion, according to the rules stated in the announcement.
