In Collaboration with Germany, SENAI Has Just Launched a Pioneering Course in Brazil Focused on the Electric Vehicles Sector!
With the accelerated growth of the electric vehicles market in Brazil, SENAI has decided to invest in professional qualification for this expanding sector. Last Friday (20), the institution announced three courses focused on electromobility, aiming to prepare workers to handle the demands and challenges that this technology brings for the future of mobility, according to the website tribunadonorte.
The announcement was made during the GO!RN event, organized by Sebrae-RN, in Natal. In addition to the launch of the courses, a market research on the panorama of electric mobility in Brazil was presented. The research highlighted the lack of professionals and the opportunities that the sector offers for those willing to specialize.
SENAI Focuses on Qualification for Electric Vehicles
The SENAI-RN is looking to the future. The package of courses announced aims to address the shortage of professionals in the electric vehicles sector, which is already a reality in the country and promises to grow even more. The three courses launched are:
-
Surprising opportunity in the railway sector: MRS offers a free course for assistant train driver and shunter in Juiz de Fora with a R$ 1,600 scholarship, specialized training, and the chance to join one of the largest railway operators in Brazil.
-
It’s official: IFMS opens spots in free courses on artificial intelligence, drones, and app creation, expanding technological education in 2026 and preparing students for areas with high professional demand and accelerated digital transformation.
-
Senai launches an unprecedented program with Petrobras and opens 2,000 spots in free courses with recognized certification, a monthly allowance of R$ 600, and training for industrial professions that continue hiring across the country.
-
Petrobras and SENAI open 480 spots in free technical courses with a scholarship of up to R$ 858, meal allowance, and training in Mechanics, Welding, Metallurgy, and Industrial Automation to meet the growing demand of the industry and the oil and gas sector.
· Principles of Electric Vehicles – with a workload of 20 hours and an investment of R$ 298.00, this course offers an overview of electric vehicles, covering everything from their history to the latest technologies.
· Safe Work with High Voltage Electric Vehicles – with 100 hours of duration and a cost of R$ 850.00, this course focuses on safety, teaching professionals how to efficiently and safely de-energize electric vehicles.
· Converter and Maintainer of Electric Vehicles – with 160 hours of duration and an investment of R$ 1,270.00, this course is for those who want to learn how to convert combustion vehicles to electric, a skill that promises to be in high demand in the coming years.
These trainings aim to cater to both experienced professionals and newcomers to the sector. “If you already work with combustion vehicle maintenance and want to upgrade your career, or if you are an engineering student interested in electric mobility, these courses are for you,” says Davinson Rangel, Professional Education instructor at SENAI-RN.
International Partnership with Germany
One of the key strategies of this new venture by SENAI is a partnership with Germany, a leading country in renewable energies and electromobility. This international collaboration was fundamental for the development of the electric vehicles courses.
The project involves the cooperation of the Gas and Renewable Energy Technologies Center (CTGAS-ER), of SENAI-RN, which has already included other major projects in the area, such as the development of the “Electric Wild”, the first electric buggy in Brazil.
According to Amora Vieira, director of CTGAS-ER, the idea of focusing on electromobility arose naturally due to the strong market demand. “With the growth of the sector and the partnership with Germany, we realized it was time to create SENAI courses specific to electric vehicles,” she stated.
Opportunities in the Electric Vehicles Market
The growth of the electric vehicles market in Brazil is already a reality. In 2024, the number of electrified vehicles sold in the country surpassed the historic mark of 93 thousand units. With the prediction that by 2030, electric and hybrid vehicles will represent 20% of the Brazilian market, the demand for diverse professionals will only increase.
According to the research “Electric Mobility,” 90.4% of companies in the sector feel the lack of specialized professionals, mainly in the maintenance of electric and hybrid vehicles. Moreover, the forecast is that by 2025, nearly half of the companies that participated in the survey intend to hire external labor.
This means that those who qualify now will be ahead of the curve when demand increases. The courses from SENAI-RN are an excellent opportunity for those looking to enter or specialize in the sector.
The Future of Electromobility in Brazil
With the enforcement of more regulated environmental regulations and the advancement of battery technologies, which are becoming more accessible, Brazil is increasingly prepared to become a major market for electric vehicles. SENAI plays a crucial role in this process, training a new generation of professionals who will be responsible for this revolution.
The professional qualification offered by SENAI-RN ensures that the state and Brazil continue to advance toward a more sustainable and technological future. Electromobility is a global trend, and those who specialize in this sector will be ready to ride this wave.
“If you are thinking about investing in your career, don’t miss this chance. The opportunities are there, and the electric vehicles course from SENAI can be the starting point for you to stand out in the market,” concludes Andreas Dohle, German consultant of eic Trier, a partner in the project.
Conclusion
Investing in qualification in electric vehicles means being prepared for the future. SENAI-RN is already ahead, offering SENAI courses for this promising and rapidly expanding area. Whether for those looking to acquire new skills or for those already working in the automotive sector, this is an unmissable opportunity to stand out in a market that keeps growing.
