Brazilian government vocational training programs

Entities: AprovaJuv ENEM preparatory program · Avenida Afonso Pena · Secretaria Executiva da Juventude (Sejuv) · AprovaJuv · Computer Maintenance course

Overview

In late July 2026 Brazil’s social and youth secretariats launched a series of free short‑term vocational courses aimed at disadvantaged groups. The Secretaria Executiva da Mulher (Semu) completed its Escola de Capacitação para Mulheres (Escap) cycle, awarding certificates to 45 women who finished an Administrative Assistant program. Graduates reported new technical skills, greater confidence and improved prospects for financial independence, while officials highlighted the neighbourhood‑based delivery model.

The Secretaria Executiva da Juventude (Sejuv) opened registrations for two professional qualification courses—Manicure and Pedicure, and Computer Maintenance—running from 27 to 31 July, 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at its headquarters on Avenida Afonso Pena, 3, 128, Mossoró. Participants meeting the attendance requirement receive a 20‑hour certificate. Sejuv also partnered with the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul to launch the AprovaJuv program, an 80‑hour free preparatory course for the ENEM and university entrance exams, meeting every Saturday from 25 July to 5 December.

Expanding its academic support, Sejuv announced a free ENEM writing workshop in collaboration with Faculdade Syntese. The intensive session runs from 3 to 7 August, offering 250 seats: 100 in morning classes (8 a.m. to 10 a.m.) at the Sejuv headquarters and 150 in evening classes (7 p.m. to 9 p.m.) at the Teatro do Paço Municipal. The workshop, limited and first‑come‑first‑served, covers essay structure, writing techniques and ENEM grading criteria. Together, these initiatives illustrate a coordinated effort by Brazil’s federal secretariats to provide practical, market‑oriented training and academic support that can generate immediate income and longer‑term educational opportunities for underserved Brazilians.
