The Federal Institute of Goiás opened 155 vacancies in free technical courses. Registrations until June 17 with Portuguese and Mathematics exams scheduled for the 28th.
The selection process of the Federal Institute of Goiás (IFG) for the second semester of 2026 brings a flexible dynamic for filling its 155 technical vacancies. Scheduled for June 28, the objective test will focus on Mathematics and Portuguese Language content, but not all candidates will need to take the exam.
According to the institution’s rules, in courses where the competition is equal to or less than 1.5 candidates per vacancy, the selection will be decided by drawing lots. The initiative aims to ensure the full occupation of classes in strategic areas for regional development.
Evaluation structure and profile of vacancies offered by the Federal Institute
The opportunities offered by the Federal Institute are aimed at those who have already completed high school and are looking for specialized training in two years. For courses that require the exam, the test will be the sole classification criterion.
-

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 distribution of vacancies reflects the needs of the productive sector in Goiás:
- Mechanics: Exclusive area of the Goiânia Campus, with 35 vacancies offered.
- Surveying: Available both in the capital (30 vacancies) and in Jataí (30 vacancies).
- Electrotechnics: Also divided between Goiânia (30 vacancies) and Jataí (30 vacancies).
Therefore, candidates have until June 17 to decide which of these areas they intend to work in, remembering that classes will preferably take place at night to accommodate professionals who work during the day.
Where are the vacancies offered?
The Federal Institute concentrated its qualification efforts in two main centers. The Goiânia Campus leads the volume of opportunities, totaling 95 study positions. On the other hand, the Jataí unit plays a crucial role in the interior of the state, offering 60 vacancies focused on surveying and electrotechnics.
While the capital absorbs the demand for industrial mechanics, the interior strengthens infrastructure and mapping areas. Thus, the IFG manages to balance the offer of high-quality free education in different geographical zones, allowing students to specialize without needing to make major residential displacements.

For participation to be validated, interested parties must navigate to the Federal Institute’s Selection Center portal, specifically to the “Study at IFG” tab.
The registration process, which is entirely digital, requires the completion of two fundamental steps for the institution’s profile:
- The electronic registration form with personal data.
- The socioeconomic questionnaire, mandatory for all registrants.
Furthermore, it is important to note that there are no tuition fees, as this is a 100% free education maintained by the federal government.
Registration is only confirmed after all fields of the online system have been completed within the stipulated deadline. The proposal of the Federal Institute’s subsequent technical courses is to serve as a career accelerator.
In this way, the institution not only offers education but also acts as a link between citizens and job vacancies that require immediate technical qualification. With classes scheduled to begin in August 2026, those approved will enter an academic environment focused on practical results for the Goian economy.
