Distinctive Program Structure

The training process includes rotations in up to three distinct areas over the course of a year, allowing for broad experience and diverse practical skills.

In addition, participants will have access to exclusive mentoring, technical training, and opportunities to work on strategic projects alongside industry specialists.

According to the General Director of ONS, Marcio Rea, investing in young talent is crucial for maintaining sustainability and ensuring innovation in the face of constant changes in the Brazilian electric sector.

Target Audience and Participation Rules

Applications are open until October 2, 2025, and are available to students expecting to graduate by December 2026.

Recent graduates since December 2023 are also eligible to participate.

Another important distinction is the waiver of the requirement for CREA registration for candidates in Engineering fields.

This expands the participation of varied profiles and reinforces ONS’s commitment to inclusion and diversity.

Covered Areas and Selection Process

The new program covers various fields: Electrical, Civil, Environmental, Production, Energy, Telecommunications Engineering and Computing.

It also includes courses in Information Systems, Computer Science, Systems Analysis and Development, Administration, Law, Psychology, Economics, Communication, Accounting, and Meteorology.

The selection will take place in partnership with the company Eureca, specialized in attracting early-career talent.

According to the Director of Corporate Affairs at ONS, Elisa Bastos, the initiative aims to prepare professionals to lead future transformations.

The goal is to combine technical and human skills in a structured development experience.

ONS and Its Relevance to the Energy Sector

Established to coordinate and control the generation and transmission installations of electric energy in the National Interconnected System (SIN), ONS plays a strategic role, ensuring balance and reliability.

Currently, the entity operates in 22 river basins and additionally controls 161 hydroelectric power plants, which are expected to reach almost 110 GW of capacity by 2029.

As a result, about 90% of the Brazilian electric matrix comes from renewable sources, solidifying the country as a global reference in sustainability and energy innovation.

With teams operating around the clock and, therefore, highly prepared, the entity operates 24 hours a day in control centers located in Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Recife, and Florianópolis.

Finally, this continuous operation reinforces its strategic position in the national energy sector and thus ensures stability for Brazil’s sustained economic growth.
