A clutchr announced today a partnership with the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) for the creation of a Specialization Program in Software, a professional area of wide rise in Brazil and in the world. The initiative aims to accelerate the training of specialists to work in the aerospace sector.
The program will be aimed at professionals in computing, engineering and related areas from across the country, recent graduates or with some experience, and who are interested in the university's graduate degree and the opportunity to work at Embraer in the development of intelligent systems. .
Divided into three modules, the structure of the program will have distance classes in theoretical disciplines and face-to-face classes at Embraer units for the development of the final project. The curriculum will last for nine months and candidates will be able to opt for specialization in “embedded software” or “digital technologies” upon registration.
“The speed of digital transformations and the global demand for technology professionals highlight the strategic need to develop agile educational programs to attract and qualify talent who want to combine personal development and career opportunities in a challenging environment such as Embraer offers,” he said. Carlos Alberto Griner, Vice President of People, ESG and Communication at Embraer. "We are very excited to have UFPE as a partner in this program that will accelerate the availability of technology specialists to the industry, contribute to building the Embraer of the future and generate benefits for society as a whole."
In addition to all the tradition and recognized quality in higher education and scientific research, UFPE's proximity to Porto Digital, an innovation center of excellence located in Recife working in the areas of information and communication technology and creative economy, contributed to the formation of the partnership that expands Embraer's activities in the national innovation ecosystem.
“For the UFPE IT Center, it is strategic to be part of initiatives to accelerate and scale training in digital technologies for highly qualified people for the market, and this one by Embraer is particularly important. It will be a differential for these professionals to have face-to-face experience at Embraer units, applying the knowledge in embedded software and data science acquired in classes with CIn's specialized professors.”, said Veronica Teichrieb, Coordinator of Cooperation and Innovation at the Centro de Informática -UFPE.
Embraer is a reference in investing in education and creating models for accelerating knowledge through teaching partnership programs, mentoring, corporate universities, among other forms of fostering a culture of innovation. One of its most outstanding educational projects is the master's degree in aeronautical engineering which, in partnership with the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA), has already trained more than 1.600 professionals over two decades and has become the main gateway for female engineers who want to work for the company.
Like Embraer's other successful recruitment and professional training programs, the vision is that the Software Specialization Program will provide the company with a greater availability of highly qualified professionals who are aligned with the growth strategies of future businesses.
More details about the national selection process and the schedule of activities in conjunction with UFPE will be announced in early 2022.
