Therefore, the expansion of openings at State Technical Schools reinforces the state’s commitment to economic and social development.
Technical Courses as an Entry Point to the Job Market

Meanwhile, companies from various sectors are seeking professionals with specific and practical training, a profile that the ETEs help to shape.
