What is the program about?
CI Inovador was created to meet the growing market demand for professionals in the field of semiconductors and microelectronics. The program is an initiative of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) coordinated by Softex in partnership with the most renowned educational institutions in Brazil.
The program offers a residency in Digital or Analog Systems, with a scholarship of R$5,000.00 per month, plus airfare expenses covered for the international phase. In addition, both options include management and entrepreneurship modules, providing a complete immersion to train highly qualified professionals and strengthen the national microelectronics ecosystem.
The CI Inovador Qualification phase lasts 6 months and awards a certificate to all approved students. After completing this first stage, the students with the best performance are selected for the International Experience and, subsequently, those who stand out move on to the In Company phase.
