📋 Tender Overview
Brazil closed 2025 with an important milestone in digital inclusion and professional qualification for low-income young people. Carreta Digital, a project by the Ministry of Communications in partnership with the Brazilian Network of Certification, Research and Innovation (RBCIP), reached the milestone of 9,800 people trained in new technologies, strengthening access to the job market in different regions of the country.
In 2025 alone, 8,418 students received certification, a result that consolidates the initiative as one of the main federal actions aimed at itinerant technological training. The program began in September 2024 and, since then, has been expanding its operations and territorial reach.
For 2026, the expectation is for even greater expansion. The goal is to exceed 20 thousand trainings, expanding the social impact of the project. According to the Minister of Communications, Frederico de Siqueira Filho, Carreta Digital was born as a pilot experience and quickly became a national public policy.
We started Carreta Digital as a pilot project in four states and, in a short time, we expanded the programs operations. A young person with adequate training in technology has a better chance of getting their first job, generating income and growing professionally, stated the minister.
Throughout 2025, Carreta Digital passed through the Federal District, Mato Grosso do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Maranhao and Pernambuco, bringing technological training to communities with little access to this type of educational infrastructure. The initiative will continue to advance throughout all regions of the country.
The projects national coordinator, Aline Marcon, highlights that the proposal goes beyond technical capacity and acts directly on the social and productive inclusion of youth.
RBCIP is committed to taking innovation out of the laboratories and taking it to where it is most needed: in the heart of Brazilian communities. Carreta Digital is not just an itinerant laboratory; it is a direct bridge to the job market and digital citizenship, he highlighted.
Since the beginning of the program, 3,007 students have graduated in Maranhao, 2,526 in the Federal District, 1,962 in Rio Grande do Sul and 2,307 in Mato Grosso do Sul. In November 2025, the project arrived in Pernambuco and, before the December break, 85 young people had already received their diploma.
About Carreta Digital
Carreta Digital works in an immersive learning environment, known as a Maker Space, equipped with cutting-edge technologies. The entire structure is assembled inside an adapted truck, which travels around the country taking face-to-face classes to regions with little or no technological training on offer.
Among the courses offered are Robotics, Cell Phone Maintenance and Assembly of High Performance Computers (PC Gamers), with a focus on practical learning and direct connection with the demands of the job market.
