Technical Course in Oil and Gas at UFPR Is Open for Registration Until September 9. The Training Is Free, Full-Time, and Offers 30 Spots.

Students up to 17 years old who wish to work in the oil and gas sector can now enroll in the free technical course offered by the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). Registrations are open until September 9 and must be made online, on the official website of the University’s Competition Center.

The course is integrated with high school education and operates full-time, offering quality technical and regular training. The registration fee is R$ 60, but candidates registered with CadÚnico have until July 25 to request an exemption.

Technical Course at UFPR in Oil and Gas Opens Doors for the Future

Established in 2006, the technical course in oil and gas is offered by the Professional and Technological Education Sector (SEPT) at UFPR.

The program focuses on preparing young people for the job market and also for entry into higher education. Throughout the years, it has transformed the lives of many students.

UFPR takes pride in its history of successful graduates. José Paulo de Oliveira Neto, a former student of the course and now a technician at Petrobras, states that the experience was a turning point.

“I knew nothing about oil and gas, but during high school, I interned at a multinational company and ended up identifying with the field,” he explains.

Another example is Luana Izídio Flores, an engineer at Petrobras, who also started her journey in the technical course at UFPR. She highlights that technical education was crucial for her path:

“I wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t taken the technical high school.”

In addition to regular subjects, students have direct contact with undergraduate professors and access to well-equipped laboratories.

They also participate in extension projects, scientific initiation, and volunteer activities, enhancing their opportunities for personal and professional development.

According to coordinator André Barrios, the training goes beyond technical fields. “We have students pursuing diverse careers such as Law, Medicine, and Veterinary Medicine. Being at UFPR while in high school broadens students’ horizons.”
