Rio de Janeiro, October 30, 2023

Committed to expanding employment opportunities and income in the Brazilian electricity sector, Neoenergia is open for enrollment at the School of Electricians in Bahia, São Paulo and the Federal District. Altogether there will be 12 classes, two of which are exclusive for women and 50% of the places reserved for the female audience. The courses are offered free of charge by Neoenergia distributors operating in these concession areas — Neoenergia Coelba (BA), Neoenergia Elektro (SP) and Neoenergia Brasília (DF) — in partnership with Senai and ETEC/FATEC.

Registrations are available on the Neoenergia website.

“The objective is to promote professional training for those who wish to work in the market, whether as self-employed or as an employee of a company. In addition, we are contributing to increasing the participation of women in this segment. Gender equity is one of our priorities,” says Régia Barbosa, Superintendent of Organizational Development and Culture at Neoenergia.

The course will last 6 to 9 months, depending on the location, with remote theoretical classes and face-to-face practice. The prerequisites for enrolling are: residing in the available areas, being over 18 years old, completing high school education, and a National Driver's License (CNH) in categories B, C or D.

Of this total, 4,355 were hired by the five distributors — Neoenergia Brasília (DF), Neoenergia Coelba (BA), Neoenergia Cosern (RN), Neoenergia Elektro (SP/MS) and Neoenergia Pernambuco (PE) — and about 600 women.
