Furthermore, research with alumni indicates that nearly 90% of graduates are employed.
This figure reinforces the positive impact of technical training on the professional and personal lives of students.

The slots are part of the SENAI’s Regimental Free Program, aimed at low-income individuals.
Between January and November 2025, over 17,000 enrollments were recorded in in-person, hybrid, and distance courses in the state.
According to the regional direction, the goal is to transform knowledge into opportunity.
The proposal is to offer courses aligned with current market demands, which seek professionals with practical and updated skills.

In the capital, each course offers 41 slots, distributed between morning and afternoon shifts. In Mossoró, the number varies between 30 and 35 slots per course, depending on the area.
