Amazon Web Services declares that it has trained more than 200 people in Brazil through its free Information Technology courses. Currently, there are more than 500 open courses

According to the Educa Mais Brasil Agency, the survey “Talent Demand in ICT and STCEM Strategy” carried out by Brasscom shows that Brazil trains, annually, an average of more than 50 thousand people with a profile that tends to technological skills. It is estimated that the technology sector will demand almost 800 new talents, a number much higher than the available professionals. Given this, the expectation is for a deficit of 106 Information Technology professionals per year, corresponding to more than half a million in five years. Faced with this professional scenario, Amazon, a technology multinational founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, is offering more than 500 free courses.

The specializations offered by Amazon are targeted at the Data Analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning, Security and Serverless (Serverless Computing) sectors. From what the company revealed, the network itself instructs users to find out which content is more meaningful according to their level of information and career plan. To check the opportunities and other information available for free courses, the interested public must access the platform AWS Skill Builder.

This, unlike Amazon Web Services Skill Builder, which is aimed at Information Technology, offers free specialization courses and the development of practical skills, such as writing resumes and interviews, which train professionals for the entry-level market in the Cloud. To take part, interested parties must proceed in the same way as in the previous instruction: also address the program website.
