Thus, the course expands immediate job opportunities.
Selection Process and Start of Classes
The selection will be conducted by public lottery on September 8, 2025. Furthermore, the results will be announced only on September 12.
Consequently, classes will begin on October 20, 2025, with all held at the São José dos Campos Campus of IFSP.
