How the Selection Process Works
To apply for the slots, interested parties must meet specific requirements. In the case of the Senac Free Program (PSG), it is necessary to prove a family income per capita of up to two minimum wages, and to present documents such as ID, CPF, proof of residence, and educational qualifications at the time of registration.
The courses are divided between the Senac+ and PSG programs, allowing different profiles of students and workers to participate. In Senac+, for example, the slots are indicated by companies in the sector and partner entities, specifically supporting young individuals in vulnerable situations and workers seeking updates for the job market.
Classes will take place at various shifts – morning, afternoon, and evening – and are scheduled to begin between October and December 2024. During classes, participants will have access to modern equipment and practical activities that simulate the real work environment.
