Distance Education with Quality and Public Infrastructure
IFSP emphasizes that the distance education (EAD) model adopted allows flexibility for students, making it easier to balance studying, working, and other responsibilities.
Even though it is online, the institution guarantees pedagogical support, technical assistance, and interaction with highly qualified teachers.
This structure aims to maintain the excellence of public education, focusing on training professionals ready to work in one of the most promising sectors of today’s job market: mobile systems development.
Additionally, the course contributes to strengthening technological education in Brazil, aligning with the guidelines of the National Postgraduate Plan and the Brazilian Strategy for Digital Transformation.
Relevance of the Course in the Current Market
According to recent data from the Brazilian Association of Information Technology and Communication Companies (Brasscom), the technology sector will need more than 797,000 new professionals by 2025.
Within this universe, mobile development represents one of the areas with the highest growth and shortage of qualified labor.
Courses like the one offered by IFSP become strategic to fill this gap and promote inclusion through free public education.
By investing in technical training, the Institute contributes directly to strengthening the innovation ecosystem and increasing the country’s competitiveness in the digital landscape.
How to Stand Out in the Selection
To succeed in the selection process, candidates must pay attention to the required documentation, prepare a good academic record, and, if possible, present experiences or additional courses related to the development area.
Although the selection process does not require a written test or interview, the curriculum analysis will be strict and based on the criteria described in the notice.
It is essential that candidates submit all documents in the correct format and within the established deadline.

The flexibility of remote learning combined with the quality of a federal institution creates the ideal environment for those seeking professional growth and expanding their possibilities in the job market.
With solid training tailored to the current needs of the technology industry, students who graduate from this course will be ready to work in private companies, startups, the public sector, or as freelance developers.
