Imagine taking a technology course completely free and, on top of that, receiving a scholarship of R$ 2 thousand.

The government of Maranhão has just opened an unmissable opportunity for those dreaming of entering the technology world without spending anything and still earning!

What is behind this opportunity? The answer might surprise you!

According to public notice 07/2024, the Trilhas Inova Program, created by the State Secretariat for Science, Technology, and Innovation (Secti) and the Maranhão Research and Technological Development Foundation (FAPEMA), is offering 500 slots in Distance Education (EaD) courses.

The big highlight is that selected students will not only have free access to the content but will also receive a scholarship totaling R$ 2 thousand during the program.

What Are the Courses and How Do They Work?

Classes are 100% online, and the content will be presented in a Bootcamp format, where students will have the chance to learn by doing, with activities and real challenges that simulate market demands.

In addition to the theoretical content, the courses will provide participants with an entrepreneurial perspective, helping them develop the skills needed to operate in local, national, and even international scenarios.

Employability is one of the program’s central focuses, which can open doors for future professional opportunities.

How Does the Selection Process Work?

The selection will be made through online tests that encompass questions on logic, Portuguese, basic English, and specific technical knowledge for each course.

Não para o Brasil! Mas infelizmente somente para Maranhenses! Por ser um curso EAD online, poderia abranger qualquer cidadão do mundo que tivesse logado para tal! Agora oferecer está oportunidade somente para “residentes” do Maranhão, isto restringe a condição de educação livre e democrática que seria adequado para situação que a população brasileira está vivendo atualmente. FALTA de uma.politica adequada e inteligente à serviço de todos!
