The Virtual University of the State of São Paulo (Univesp) Provides a Platform with Thousands of Opportunities in Free Courses for Various Areas of Knowledge and Sectors.
Univesp, or the Virtual University of the State of São Paulo, has just launched the portal “Opportunity Now,” offering no less than 370,000 slots in over 40 free courses. Aimed at both students and individuals looking to enhance their qualifications, the new site promises to facilitate access to education and training, especially for those seeking flexibility and autonomy to study at their own pace.
Thus, the initiative is supported by private companies, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and public agencies that, together, promote professional qualification and employability for young people and adults.
These free courses cover various strategic areas with high demand in the job market, including tourism, international logistics, information technology, soft skills, and much more. Each course has been carefully structured to be offered remotely, with a format that includes video lessons, digital libraries, pedagogical content, and discussion forums. In this way, Univesp strengthens its commitment to accessible public education, already consolidating its role as one of the largest public higher education institutions in Brazil.

How the Selection Process Works
Access to Univesp’s free courses is simple and direct, accessible to anyone interested. All courses take place in a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), where participants find complete material for their studies, including video lessons and a digital library. Students have the ability to interact with facilitators, which makes it easier to resolve doubts and increases engagement with the content.
The structure of the VLE also allows students to organize their time, as classes can be accessed from any device with internet, adapting to each student’s routine. The variety of courses and the diversity of areas offered are designed so that everyone can find learning opportunities that align with their professional interests.
Thus, the selection process for the participating institutions was conducted through a public notice, from July to September of this year. National and foreign companies and CSOs that wished to contribute to the employability and qualification of the public could register and offer free slots. This system of partnerships ensures that opportunities are diverse and accessible, guaranteeing the quality and relevance of the courses offered.
Where to Sign Up and Start Right Now
Those interested in the slots can register directly on Univesp’s website, through the link: www.apps.univesp.br/oportunidade-ja. The portal gathers information about each available course, including workload, syllabus, and registration requirements.
Each of the free courses has its own schedule, which means that new slots may open periodically, increasing the chances for those wishing to register. The new Univesp platform represents a great advancement in access to free and quality education, being a true milestone for Brazilian public higher education.
