With Focus on Education and Technology, The Company StartSe Launches Free and E-Learning Course for Programmer Training, as Well as Creating a Talent Bank for Students
The technology-focused education startup StartSe launched a free programmer training course last Friday, March 25. Lasting 12 weeks, the StartSe program will take place entirely online, comprising 100 hours of recorded classes, live mentoring, and issuing a certificate of completion. The free course aims to teach students programming in languages such as HTML, CSS, SQL, and JavaScript.
Details of The StartSe Project
Considering that the focus of the free and online course is to train young adults between 18 and 35 in this area, no prior knowledge of technology is required to apply. To participate, candidates only need to pass the selection process, which will include a leveling test to fairly separate students.
This initiative from StartSe is part of a larger new project by the company: the TechAcademy. This program aims to train 500,000 developers and programmers over the next three years (by 2025) completely free of charge.

Junior Borneli, CEO of StartSe, states: “If we do not accelerate the training of people in the technology field, Brazil risks a true blackout in its digital transformation.”
According to data provided by the Brazilian Federation of Information Technology Companies (Assespro), which was disclosed by Luciana Lima on the Exame website, there are 100,000 job openings available in the sector. Therefore, there are plenty of job openings for technology professionals – an extremely promising sector with various initiatives – but not enough qualified people to fill them.
And it is exactly with this in mind that, in addition to providing student training through the free course, StartSe will also develop a talent bank aimed at graduates of its course. Thus, other companies that are clients of the startup will be able to consult the talent bank and hire the newly graduated students.
Openings and Applications for the Free Course
The openings for the first class of the free course are unlimited. The number of students in this StartSe course will be established according to the number of candidates who are enrolled and approved after the selection process.
Applications for this free and online course opened on the 25th and will remain available until April 10. To apply, just click here and register. Attention! It is worth noting that CPG has no ties to StartSe, nor to the selection process for the free course, making the application the sole responsibility of the applicant.
