With the aim of boosting professional qualification and improving productivity on construction sites, Senai-RN will launch the program “Learning to Build” in August 2025, aimed at training workers in the civil construction sector.

The initiative, carried out in partnership with the Brazilian Chamber of Construction Industry (CBIC) and the Construction Industry Union of Rio Grande do Norte (Sinduscon-RN), aims to train knowledge multipliers within the companies in the sector.

The program is part of the National Training Plan for Civil Construction 2025 and represents a strategic response to the growing shortage of qualified labor in Brazil.

Senai-RN Training Focused on Multipliers

The program’s differential lies in the training of multipliers: professionals already working in companies who will be trained to disseminate the knowledge acquired among their colleagues on-site.

“In practice, I qualify someone from the company to multiply access to information internally, with the possibility of having one or more people, per project and with different qualification profiles, participating in the program,” explains Rodrigo Mello, regional director of Senai-RN.

The first training sessions will be available at Senai units in the state and can also be accessed through Sinduscon-RN. The target audience includes low-income workers and newly hired individuals in roles such as:

Reinforcement steel worker
Construction carpenter
Finishing workers with mortar
Finishing mason
Bricklayer

Free Courses with Practical Methodology

The average duration of the courses will be three months, with a daily workload of two hours. The methodology used is hybrid, combining:

Digital books
Video lessons
Supervised practical activities

In addition to basic training, participants will have access to specific improvement content in areas such as:

Wood forms for concrete
Hydraulic, electrical, and sanitary installations
Reading and interpreting projects
Ceramic and porcelain tile installation
Painting techniques for construction

Opportunities for Women in Civil Construction

One of the highlights of the program is the “They Build” axis, aimed at increasing female presence on construction sites, where women represent only 10% of the workforce.

“The activities we develop with this perspective have been successful in electrical work, where there is also a higher male presence. We are available for the formation of exclusive or mixed classes for women in the civil construction sector,” says Rodrigo Mello.

Training Steps: Step by Step

The “Learning to Build” program will be developed in five main phases:

Company Engagement
Identification of the multiplier
Formation of the class
Lesson Planning
Preparation of the environment on-site
Definition of schedule
Access to materials
Multiplier Training (24h)
Technical and pedagogical training offered by Senai
Course Execution
Practical classes on-site
Development of technical and collaborative skills
Conclusion
Professional certification
Celebration event
Recommendation for complementary training

Civil Construction Needs to Qualify 100 Thousand People

Rodrigo Mello emphasizes that Brazilian civil construction needs to train around 100,000 professionals by 2025 to meet the demand.

Currently, turnover in the sector reaches 50% and, even so, 60% of workers have never participated in a formal training course.

Despite this, interest is high: 71% of professionals express a desire to qualify, according to data from CBIC.

For Mello, the initiative by Senai-RN adds to the sector’s efforts to enhance the attractiveness of civil construction professions.

“The sector needs to discuss the attractiveness of the professions that contribute to its development. In this sense, SENAI joins companies and the Federation of Industries, saying ‘I can provide training and am willing to participate in the discussion on attraction and retention of talents’.”

Brazil More Productive Program: A New Front for Companies

During the program presentation at the General Assembly of Sinduscon-RN, held at the Industry House on May 8, Rodrigo Mello also highlighted another opportunity: Brazil More Productive. The initiative offers:

Free consulting for micro and small businesses

Subsidy of 70% for medium-sized companies

The areas of action include:

Diagnosis and management
Lean manufacturing
Energy efficiency
Digital transformation
Smart factory

In 2024, 62 companies in Rio Grande do Norte participated in the program, with an average productivity increase of 49.5%.

Registration for 2025 is open on the official website: https://plataformaprodutividade.com.br

Why Invest in Training?

For the president of Sinduscon-RN, Sérgio Azevedo, workforce training is urgent:

“Our problem is not just retention or training. It’s attracting this workforce. The SENAI Program fits perfectly with what the sector identifies as a pain point.”

The initiative demonstrates how the collaboration between institutions such as Senai-RN, companies, and unions can be the pathway to overcome historical bottlenecks in civil construction and prepare the sector for a new growth cycle.

Brazil More Productive Program: A New Front for Companies

Why Invest in Training?

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

New microwave that can replace three appliances hits the market: Sharp launches 3-in-1 model that combines air fryer, convection oven, and heating in 0.9 cubic feet for small kitchens

How much is spent on a 100 m² foundation becomes a warning for those planning to build, using concrete, steel, and wood.

Scientists make worrying discovery: New study reveals that airborne microplastics can worsen global warming on a scale comparable to that of 200 coal power plants spread across the planet.

Egypt will reveal a 4,500-year-old secret by opening a sealed secret chamber inside the Great Pyramid and promises to unveil a mystery that intrigues the world.

Weak showers and low-pressure faucets may be caused by an invisible error in the plumbing system that plumbers resolve in a few minutes and completely changes the water pressure in the house.

Lula scraps the blouse tax, and international purchases up to US$50 are exempt from federal tax, but ICMS is still on the radar.

How much is spent on a 100 m² foundation becomes a warning for those planning to build, using concrete, steel, and wood.

Mobile bridges in the Netherlands transform streets into passages for boats and reveal how sensors, counterweights, and operators make tons of steel move out of the way without disrupting the routine of cyclists, cars, pedestrians, and historic canals in cities where water also functions as a road.

While cities suffocate with smoke and fields burn worthless straw, India transforms sugarcane bagasse, non-recyclable plastic, and agricultural residue into bricks to build cheaper rural housing.

Instead of waiting months for construction, Ecocapsule transforms a metal capsule into an off-grid micro-home with solar power, a bathroom with a shower, a compact kitchen, and its own system for living off the grid.

The end of the brick: a new wall system makes construction faster and significantly reduces site waste by cutting material losses from 25% to less than 5% and erecting pre-built walls in just 24 hours without breakage or excessive rubble.
