Technologies related to the internet of things, data analysis and process optimization, he listed, are part of the requests of the production centers that are being located.

Along with the technological requirements, the industry is also demanding specialized profiles to guarantee the application of these systems.

The cluster signed agreements with companies in the industry to provide specialization courses in information technology, with the purpose of covering the needs of the market and the lack of personnel.

Similarly, the cluster has proposed launching scholarships to train talent who already work in the industry, but who require a higher degree of training.

“We partnered with Coursera, with Amazon Web Services, with several of them we have already partnered as a cluster to train more, more specialized people. (...) There is more and more demand, there is a greater struggle to find them, we are looking together with the government, with institutions, to grant scholarships to people who are already working to raise their level. Not only that he is an engineer but a specialist”, he highlighted.
