The target audience for the course is licensed teachers and graduates who work as educators in public or private educational institutions and teach subjects in the Natural Sciences area (such as Biology, Physics, and Chemistry).
It is essential that candidates reside in the state of Maranhão and choose one of the support centers to participate in the in-person meetings. The available centers are:
- Balsas
- Carutapera
- Humberto de Campos
- Imperatriz
- São Luís
Each center will have 30 spots, totaling the 150 opportunities provided by the program.
How Will the Selection Be Made?
The selection of candidates will be based on curriculum evaluation, considering the academic background and professional experience of the applicants.
During enrollment, it will be necessary to submit scanned documentation in PDF format, as required by the announcement.
