What is Microsoft Connect+? 3j5a29
This is the program Microsoft focused on offering training to Brazilians aged 16 and over in the IT area. In the first release, Brazilians can have access to courses in three areas: Microsoft Azure, Business Application e Safety. Access to the platform is free and it is not necessary to fulfill any requirements beyond the minimum age to access the contents.
The company chose these areas precisely because of the growth in demand that was already happening before the COVID-19 pandemic and which became even greater with the modernization of companies in Brazil and the world.
This is an initiative that is part of a global goal of Microsoft, but it is being put into practice only in Brazil (at least for now). O showmetech had the opportunity to talk to Vera Cabral, director of the Education Industry at Microsoft, who shared that the biggest focus is on bridging the knowledge gap between IT people and companies that need employees.
Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more. Conecta+ is an initiative that is part of the Mais Brasil program, which was launched in October 2020. Our main objective is for people to take technology courses, get certified and get the vacancy that is being offered by companies in the market.
Vera Cabral, Director of Education Industry at Microsoft.
The platform can be accessed at any time. Vera shared that “the launch happened today, but the duration is continuous”. In total, you will be offered:
- 300 hours of on-demand training;
- 180 hours of training with teachers giving live classes in Portuguese (the capacity is to serve 80 people between April and June this year).
All the content of the tracks of the free courses of the Microsoft Connect+ can be accessed by those who have never had with the IT area, since the most basic fundamentals are part of the trail of technology courses offered. Most importantly, the classes are entirely in Portuguese, with no knowledge of English required.

IT sector is on the rise 4k5a3j
There is no denying that the pandemic of COVID-19 caused a big change in the day to day of many companies and still did not invest in any technology solution, all companies, regardless of their size, started to do this actively.
Vera Cabral shared that definitely, every company nowadays is part of the technology sector due to the most diverse solutions: from digital service to the use of servers. And the demand for people grew in the same way.
Today, we have a demand that is no longer met. There is an estimate of a deficit of 100 thousand professionals per year when we compare the size of the demand with the size of the creation of vacancies and the need we have for these vacancies. O Microsoft Connect+ it is a continuation of the work we are already doing, allowing more people to have access to knowledge and also to vacancies at companies that are hiring.
