Young people aged 18 and over who wish to enter the technology sector can now enroll in a new edition of the Young Talents program, a free initiative promoted by IPM Sistemas, a Santa Catarina company recognized in the software development segment. The project offers in-person training in Rio do Sul, in the Itajaí Valley, focusing on programming and systems development using PHP language.
According to information from G1 on May 28, 2026, registrations are open until June 14, 2026, and classes start in July, during the student vacation period. Since 2001, the free technology program has trained more than 1,000 professionals for the job market, strengthening the connection between young talents and digital sector companies in SC.

The program takes place in person at the IPM Technology Center in Rio do Sul, a city that is strengthening its presence within the Santa Catarina technology ecosystem.
Free professional training gathers content valued by technology companies
The training offered by IPM Sistemas was structured to bring students closer to the current needs of the technology sector. The course combines theory and practice, allowing participants to develop technical skills highly sought after in the market.
Among the content covered during the professional training are:
- Database
- HTML and CSS
- JavaScript
- Basic PHP and database connection
- Object-oriented PHP
The PHP language continues to be widely used in corporate systems, digital platforms, and web applications. Therefore, professionals with knowledge in this area remain in high demand by technology companies.
Another advantage of the free technology program is the direct contact with IPM specialists from the first meetings, allowing students to experience real sector routines.
The technology job market remains strong in 2026
The growth of the digital sector in Brazil has been increasing the demand for qualified professionals in various technology-related areas. According to projections by Brasscom, an association representing technology and communication companies, the country is expected to continue facing a shortage of specialized labor in the coming years.
This scenario increases the importance of initiatives aimed at professional training for young people interested in programming and software development.
Moreover, companies have started to seek professionals with technical skills and the ability to quickly adapt to technological changes. Free courses with a practical focus become important alternatives to accelerate entry into the job market.
In SC, the technology sector remains among the strongest in the country, moving billions of reais and generating thousands of direct and indirect jobs.
Who can participate in the free technology program by IPM Sistemas
IPM Sistemas has defined some criteria for those interested in the new class of Young Talents. The goal is to select participants with an affinity for the technological area and an interest in innovation.
To participate, it is necessary to:

- Be enrolled in or have completed technical or higher education

The classes will be held during the academic holidays. The first meeting is scheduled for July 4th, a Saturday, at the company’s Technology Center in Rio do Sul.
SC strengthens its position as a national reference in technology and innovation
In recent years, SC has consolidated its position among the main technology hubs in Brazil. Cities like Florianópolis, Joinville, Blumenau, and Rio do Sul have been attracting startups, software companies, and investments related to digital transformation.
This growth also increased the need for training new professionals. Therefore, free technology programs have become even more relevant within the state.
IPM Sistemas itself highlights that the Young Talents program functions as much more than a traditional course. The company describes the initiative as a comprehensive training aimed at building a career within the technology sector.
Another important point is that participants receive a certificate at the end of the training, strengthening their professional resume and expanding future possibilities in the job market.
Technology, innovation, and practical experience bring young people closer to companies
Unlike purely theoretical courses, the free technology program focuses on a methodology geared towards practice and accelerated development of students. According to IPM Sistemas, the method was designed to stimulate technical evolution from day one.
The company also highlights that the learning environment brings students closer to the corporate reality, something increasingly valued by recruiters.
This contact with specialists and real projects helps young professionals better understand how the software development sector works, as well as expand networking and future opportunities.
The combination of professional training, practical experience, and the possibility of hiring makes the program stand out within the technology scene in SC.
Free training can pave the way for promising careers in technology
The advancement of digital transformation continues to create new opportunities for professionals in programming, innovation, and software development. In this context, free initiatives aimed at technical training become important tools for inclusion and professional growth.
The free technology program promoted by IPM Sistemas emerges precisely as a strategic opportunity for young people who wish to build a career in one of the most promising sectors in Brazil by 2026.
In addition to technical learning, the project offers proximity to the job market, contact with specialists, and real chances of hiring, further strengthening the technology ecosystem in SC.
