The Federal Institute of Fluminense (IFF) and Petrobras have formed an alliance to offer free professional qualification courses with monthly scholarship to participants.

The initiative is part of the Petrobras Autonomy and Income Program, which aims to train labor in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability in Petrobras’ operating regions, focusing on social inclusion and employability.

Since its launch, the program provides free courses offered by federal institutes and SENAI units in municipalities where Petrobras operates, covering various technical and vocational areas, in addition to the scholarship for participants.

Target Audience and Participation Conditions

Applicants must be at least 18 years old and reside in areas covered by Petrobras’ operations.

The focus is on individuals without formal employment or of low income, as well as priority groups — women, transgender individuals, indigenous people, quilombolas, refugees, persons with disabilities, and people of color.

The announcement released by the IFF (Announcement No. 096/2025), aimed at the Macaé (RJ) campus, requires students to maintain a minimum attendance of 75% in classes to guarantee full receipt of the scholarship.

The text also emphasizes that for women with children up to 11 years old, the scholarship amount is higher.

Scholarship Value and Schedule

According to the announcement, the standard monthly scholarship is R$ 660.00, while for women with children up to 11 years old, the amount increases to R$ 858.00.

Although the title mentions “up to R$ 885,” there is no public confirmation that this amount applies to the mentioned announcement, suggesting it may be an estimate or rounding by the publishing entity.

According to the cited announcement, enrollments are open and the deadline is November 11, 2025 for the Macaé class.

The start of classes, however, is not clearly stated as a fixed number for all included courses.

Course Content and Format

The offered courses — in the FIC (Initial and Continuing Education) modality — are designed to provide initial skills for roles in areas such as industrial maintenance, warehousing, logistics, assembly, and various services related to the energy and oil production chain.

In previous editions, for example, a course on “Various Services Assistant” included topics such as communication, logical reasoning, health, safety and environment, 5S, logistics, and minor maintenance.

Although the original announcement specifically mentioned the course “Administrative Assistant” in Campos dos Goytacazes (RJ), there has been no clear and public confirmation of this specific course in the IFF announcement related to the Petrobras program until September 2025.

Therefore, it is possible that this is an editorial adaptation or a localized call that has not yet been fully published.

Benefits and Context of the Partnership

The alliance between Petrobras and federal institutes like the IFF reinforces the role of companies in coordination with public professional education to meet regional labor demands while promoting social inclusion.

In regions like North Fluminense, where oil and gas operations have a direct impact on the economy, programs like this help to promote access to qualification for those living in adjacent areas.

In addition to the free course and scholarship, the initiative expands the reach of federal institutions beyond their technical and undergraduate courses, creating opportunities for individuals who have historically faced barriers to accessing formal education or the labor market.

How to Enroll

To participate, candidates must access the official portal of the Autonomy and Income program (autonomiaerenda.com.br), locate the current announcement, and follow the instructions for enrollment.

In the IFF announcement for this cycle, enrollments are made exclusively online, with a final deadline of November 11, 2025 (in the cited case).

It is essential to fill in all required fields, attach the requested documents according to the announcement, and observe the low-income or vulnerability socioeconomic criteria.

In case of doubts or lack of internet access, the announcements state that the campuses offer in-person support stations for registration.

After enrollment, the selection process is conducted by public lottery or classification, according to the announcement, and the approved candidates must enroll on the stipulated days and present identification, educational documentation, and income verification.
