Digital learning opportunities with the Rio On platform
The City of Rio de Janeiro, in an innovative partnership with Senac RJ, opens registrations for more than 5 thousand places in free online courses, aiming to strengthen insertion in the job market. This initiative is part of the project of the Municipal Department of Science and Technology, which seeks to expand access to knowledge and new technologies.
The digital age and access to knowledge
The Rio On platform, launched in July 2023, represents a milestone in free digital education in the city. Offering courses starting next Monday (15/01), the platform focuses on essential skills for the 21st century. To register, interested parties, who must be 16 years old or over and reside in the municipality, can access the official website . With innovative methodologies, Rio On positions itself as an essential portal for those seeking professional qualification and knowledge in various areas.
Courses Offered: Diversity and Quality
The available courses range from Basic and Advanced Technology, such as Excel Dashboard and Data Analysis with Power Bi, to Communication areas, with Digital Graphic Design courses. Additionally, there are courses focused on Innovative Entrepreneurship, including Design Thinking, fundamentals for custom furniture projects, Financial Education and Community Leadership. These options reflect the diversity and need of a constantly evolving job market.
With workloads ranging from 8 to 60 hours, Rio On not only provides the development of relevant skills but also aims to accelerate work and income opportunities, responding to the urgent need for qualified professionals to face the challenges of the present and the future.
Digital Expansion and Inclusion
Rio On, combined with the nine Ships of Knowledge – technological training hubs that offer face-to-face content – forms an effective technological belt in Rio de Janeiro. This network facilitates access to education and professional training, reaching especially those on the margins of the digital revolution. This project not only expands access to knowledge but also promotes digital inclusion, being a significant step towards the city's socioeconomic development.
In summary, the Rio City Council's initiative, through Rio On, is a notable example of how technology and education can come together to create opportunities for professional and personal growth. These free courses represent an open door for all citizens of Rio who seek to qualify and prosper in the digital era, marking a significant advance in the democratization of knowledge and the strengthening of the local economy through professional qualification.
