Classes, which will be held in the cities of Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Caruaru, Paulista, and Recife, all in the state of Pernambuco, are scheduled to begin in March, depending on the filling of all available spots. These will total 100 opportunities for men and women, with 25 students per city.

The electrician course, which is free of charge and will last about 3 months, will be conducted full-time with classes in the morning and afternoon shifts, on five school days a week, with the possibility of some classes being held on Saturdays. According to a statement from Neoenergia Pernambuco, The Electricians School should start classes through remote, online learning due to the recent increase in the number of people who tested positive for Covid-19. However, all practical classes will be face-to-face.

How to Apply

For those who wish to study at The Electricians School of Neoenergia Pernambuco, registrations are conducted exclusively online through the selection website. For all participating students, transportation assistance and meal assistance will be provided. Pay attention to the date: Neoenergia’s spots will be available only until February 9, next Wednesday.

Exclusive Spots for Women and Gender Equity

According to Neoenergia Pernambuco itself, the decision to reserve part of the spots in The Electricians School solely for women aims to expand employment opportunities for the female audience. After completing the electrician training, female students will make up the company’s talent bank and may also compete for potential future openings.

Reaffirming the company’s goal, the president of Neoenergia Pernambuco, Saulo Cabral, says: “Neoenergia Pernambuco believes that the greatest recognition we can offer women is good opportunities, gender equity, and the enhancement of the female workforce in the market. Our intention is to effectively include a significant portion of this workforce formed with specific training to develop activities that were previously seen as predominantly male.”

The Electricians School

Neoenergia started conducting The Electricians School in 2013 and has already trained over 4,300 students in the states of Bahia, Brasília, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Sul, and São Paulo. Of the total, 3,217 students were hired by Neoenergia’s units, of which only 262 are women. In Pernambuco, the company has already conducted 69 classes of The Electricians School, graduating 1,655 students, including 136 female students, and employed 1,260 professionals trained by the initiative, of whom only 94 are women. To promote diversity and inclusion, Neoenergia launched a pioneering action in 2019 by creating the first classes exclusively for women. This year, 19 mixed classes will also be opened. Additionally, the company’s desire is to continue hiring students after graduation.

Exclusive Spots for Women and Gender Equity

The Electricians School

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.
