The New Offer from Firjan Includes 70 Professional Qualification Courses Across the State of Rio, with In-Person Enrollment and Classes Scheduled Between May and September
Firjan is open for enrollment for 10,420 free vacancies in professional qualification courses in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Classes begin between May and September, and enrollment must be done exclusively in person. Just in the Metropolitan Region, there are 6,575 opportunities distributed across units such as Maracanã, Niterói, Caxias, Jacarepaguá, and São Gonçalo. The vacancies are limited and may close before the final deadline.
Those who thought 2025 would be a slow year for professional education were mistaken. Firjan has just taken a bold step and announced, all at once, more than ten thousand free vacancies for those who want to learn a profession or reinvent themselves in the job market. In total, there are 70 courses distributed throughout the state of Rio de Janeiro, with a clear proposal: to train, without charging tuition, young people and adults in technical areas with high demand. The action is not timid — 413 classes will be opened in in-person, hybrid, and online formats between May and September.
SCOPE OF THE OFFER IN THE STATE
The new Firjan offer targets all regions of the state, but it is in the Metropolitan Region that the strength of the initiative is concentrated. Units such as Benfica, Santa Cruz, Tijuca, Vila Isabel, Itaguaí, Nova Iguaçu, and Vicente de Carvalho total 6,575 vacancies.

Each unit has its own dynamics, with distinct start dates and courses shaped according to the local reality. The logic behind the distribution is clear: to bring technical education closer to the population and accelerate the training of professionals ready for the industry.
FREE COURSES, BUT HIGHLY SPECIFIC
The areas covered directly reflect the needs of the productive sector. Food and Beverage, Automotive, Construction, Electronics, Logistics, IT, Apparel, Renewable Energies, and Metalworking are just some of the segments covered by Firjan’s courses.
And those who think these are generic courses may be surprised. The programs range from digital animation to industrial climate control rules, with options for those who want to get hands-on or dive into the digital world.
ENROLLMENT AT FIRJAN: AN IMPORTANT DETAIL
Although we are in the midst of the digital age, enrollment for Firjan’s courses remains analog, conducted in person, directly at the chosen unit. The reason? Agility and control in filling classes, since the vacancies are limited and close automatically when the maximum number of enrollees is reached.
To participate, it is necessary to present a CPF, ID, proof of schooling, and a self-declaration of low income. Minors must be accompanied by a guardian.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE
The courses are aimed at individuals with a family income of up to 1.5 federal minimum wage per capita. Each course has its own criteria for schooling and age. And for those considering enrolling in a remote class, it is important to remember: having access to a computer or laptop is mandatory, as part of the classes will occur remotely. The complete announcement, with all the details, is available at Firjan units.
