Demand for People in the Field Is Expected to Increase
This program from Mercado Livre in partnership with Rocketseat comes at a crucial time for the field. This is because, according to the Brazilian Association of Information Technology and Communication Companies (Brasscom), the sector will need professionals.
According to the entity’s survey, by next year, the demand for technology professionals in Brazil will reach nearly 800,000. However, more than 60% of these positions may remain unfilled due to a lack of qualification.
How to Enroll
Interested? Know that registrations are already open and will remain so until April 29 on Rocketseat’s website. Those registered will go through a selection process that includes a Pre-course Challenge, which will take place from April 29 to May 4.
After the process, the results will be announced between May 3 and May 7, and the scholarships will be distributed. This will occur between May 8 and May 15, with classes starting on May 20.
