In a surprising move that could transform the lives of many Brazilians, Petrobras, in partnership with the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of São Paulo (IFSP), opened applications for a program of free courses that promises not only to qualify but also to offer significant financial support.
The most interesting part? No selection test is required to secure your spot. In an unprecedented initiative, the state-owned company offers opportunities for those who wish to qualify professionally, with benefits that go far beyond the expected.
But what is really at stake here? At the Cubatão campus, in the Baixada Santista, 40 spots are available, while at the São José dos Campos campus, in the interior of São Paulo, 30 spots are offered, all for the professional qualification course as a General Services Assistant.
And the surprises don’t stop there. The free courses not only guarantee technical training but also include reinforcement in essential subjects such as Portuguese and mathematics, as well as psychosocial support to assist participants in their educational journey.

Petrobras is truly betting on education as a path to social transformation. The spots are primarily aimed at groups in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability, including low-income individuals, unemployed people, and those belonging to marginalized groups such as women, people with disabilities, black, brown, transgender individuals, travestis, indigenous people, quilombolas, and refugees. These courses have been designed to meet the needs of those who most require opportunities for a better life.
Financial Support for Enrolled Students
Participants who secure a spot in the course will also receive a monthly financial aid of R$ 660, which increases to R$ 858 for women with children up to 11 years old.
This assistance is essential to ensure that students can fully dedicate themselves to their studies without worrying about monthly bills. Additionally, in some locations, Petrobras also provides a children’s space so that mothers can study peacefully while their children are cared for.
How to Enroll
To enroll, interested individuals must access the enrollment page of the Petrobras Autonomy and Income Program and attach the necessary documents. Enrollment is completely free, and the selection of candidates will be conducted through a public lottery, ensuring that everyone has a fair chance to participate. Classes are set to start on September 17 at both campuses.
This is undoubtedly a unique opportunity for those who wish to change their lives through education and professional qualification. Petrobras is offering much more than just a course; it is a chance for a fresh start, especially for those facing socioeconomic difficulties. Don’t waste time and enroll now!
