Seduc of Piauí opens spots in free technical EaD courses for basic education professionals
The new selection process by the Education Department of Piauí is part of the actions of the Profuncionário Program, a Federal Government initiative aimed at the free technical training of technical-administrative staff working in public schools. The program’s resources come from Pronatec, the National Program for Access to Technical Education and Employment.
According to Seduc, the free technical EaD courses were structured to serve professionals already working in the school environment who need specific technical training in areas related to administration, food, infrastructure, and pedagogical support of public schools.
The classes will be conducted predominantly at a distance, with synchronous and asynchronous activities. This means that students will have access to both real-time online meetings and recorded content available on the program’s educational platform. Seduc also informed that 20% of the workload will be in-person, as required by technical training.
Which free technical EaD courses are available in the Seduc PI selection process
The notice released by Seduc of Piauí offers spots in four subsequent technical courses specifically aimed at operational and administrative areas of public education.
The available courses are: School Secretariat, Didactic Multimedia, School Infrastructure, and School Food. Each training was created to meet specific functions within the public school network’s teaching units.
The School Secretary course is aimed at school secretaries, administrative assistants, educational assistants, and professionals interested in deepening their knowledge of educational legislation, enrollments, academic documentation, and student attendance control.
The Didactic Multimedia course caters to non-teaching staff involved in pedagogical support and professionals interested in working with educational technologies, digital media, and didactic tools applied to the school environment.
The School Infrastructure course is aimed at workers responsible for the maintenance of school facilities, including electrical systems, plumbing, environmental comfort, building conservation, and management of the physical spaces of schools.
In the area of School Nutrition, the focus is on professionals responsible for the preparation, storage, and distribution of food offered in public educational units. The technical content includes good sanitary practices, food safety, and organization of school kitchens.
According to Seduc, the selection process will follow the order of registration according to the number of available spots in each municipality and course offered.
A scholarship of R$ 600 will be paid to selected students during supervised practice
One of the main attractions of the selection process is the granting of a scholarship to approved participants. Seduc officially confirmed that the selected course participants will receive a total financial aid of R$ 600 throughout the program.
The payment will be made in three installments of R$ 200 during the execution of the supervised professional practice. The scholarship serves as an incentive for students to remain in the technical course and support the practical activities required by the training.
The notice does not mention any requirement for enrollment fees or tuition, reinforcing that the courses are completely free for the selected professionals.
