Petrobras and SENAI open 480 spots in free technical courses with a scholarship of up to R$ 858, meal allowance, and training in Mechanics, Welding, Metallurgy, and Industrial Automation to meet the growing demand of the industry and the oil and gas sector.
The agreement provides for free high school level technical courses. The offer was designed for students who are still in school but are already approaching entry into the job market.
Classes are scheduled to start on July 29. There will be 100 classes, with participation from 17 state schools and Senai units in Arapiraca and Maceió.
In the capital, the courses will be distributed across the Poço, Benedito Bentes, and Industrial District hubs. The structure seeks to bring students closer to areas related to the state’s industry.
Slots meet the demand of the Alagoas industry
The chosen areas include Systems Development, Chemistry and Petrochemicals, Electromechanics, Electroelectronics, Occupational Safety, Construction, Plastics, Automotive Maintenance, Industrial Machine Maintenance, Quality, and Production Planning and Control.
The definition of the courses considers demands identified by the Industrial Work Map, prepared by the National Industry Observatory, linked to CNI.
Today, Alagoas needs just over 6,000 technical professionals to meet the needs of the industrial sector. With 2,000 slots, the first offer covers about 30% of this demand.
The proposal creates a bridge between public school and technical employment. For students, the training can expand access to industrial occupations while they are still completing high school.
