Register for 3,000 Slots in Free Technology Courses at the Carioca Navezinhas. Qualification in Robotics, Photography, Game Development, and More
The Municipal Secretary of Science and Technology (SMCT) is accepting registrations for 3,000 vacancies in free courses and workshops focused on technology and entrepreneurship, offered by the Carioca Navezinhas. These 25 units, distributed across various peripheral regions of Rio de Janeiro, aim to train young people and adults in digital skills and prepare participants for the job market. The free courses cover various technological and digital tools, democratizing knowledge and providing new opportunities for audiences of different profiles.
The Carioca Navezinhas were implemented in areas of high social vulnerability, seeking to promote inclusion and access to modern technologies. These innovative spaces aim not only for digital training but also for the social and economic inclusion of residents in peripheral regions, where technological knowledge can open doors to jobs and improvements in living conditions.
According to Thereza Paiva, Secretary of Science and Technology, the initiative expands the reach of the Knowledge Naves, offering digital inclusion and modern learning methods for the population living far from the major centers.
