📋 Tender Overview
Carreta Digital, an itinerant program from the Ministry of Communications, reached the milestone of more than 9 thousand students graduating in just one year in November, consolidating itself as one of the main technological qualification initiatives aimed at low-income students and public schools across the country.
With classrooms on wheels equipped with cutting-edge technology, the project travels throughout Brazil providing free, practical training in strategic areas for the digital job market, such as basic IT, robotics, programming, game development, cell phone maintenance and assembly of high-performance computers (PC Gamer).
The program provides knowledge, reduces inequalities and brings digital literacy and professional technological training to thousands of students in the country. We are not only training young people, but bringing dignity and expanding horizons, preparing these students for qualified jobs in the future and for an effective insertion in the digital world. This mark of 9 thousand graduates makes us very proud, and there are many more to come, highlighted the Minister of Communications, Frederico de Siqueira Filho.
Executed in partnership with the Brazilian Network for Certification, Research and Innovation (RBCIP), the initiative continues to expand. Last week alone, another 183 students completed the courses: 91 in Maranhao and 92 in Rio Grande do Sul. Since the beginning of the program, there have been 2,645 graduates in Maranhao and 1,914 in Rio Grande do Sul.
We work hard for Brazilian education, as we understand that it is the main agenda for the nations development, and needs incentives and priority. Through a traveling trailer equipped with cutting-edge technology, we transform lives, with courses and training in new technologies for several low-income communities. These are young people who can have access to the job market, after training and certification, providing them with skills and opportunities for a better future, highlights Aline Marcon, executive coordinator of the Carreta Digital project.
Launched in September 2024, in the Federal District, Carreta Digital transforms public spaces into modern and accessible learning environments, connecting technology and education in communities that historically face greater challenges in accessing innovation.
The project has already passed through the Federal District, Mato Grosso do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul and Maranhao and continues to advance throughout all regions of the country. The goal is ambitious: to achieve 23,000 trainings by 2026, expanding employment, income and digital inclusion opportunities for thousands of young Brazilians.
More than numbers, Carreta Digital represents the democratization of access to technological knowledge and the construction of fairer paths for youth, promoting social, economic and educational development on a national scale.
