Your opportunity starts here
Your first job is just the start of your career.
Here you don’t go in alone: you join a class, a tailor-made course, people who support you closely and a future with room to take the next step. We walk this path with you.
A start that opens doors
Everyone remembers their first job. It can be just any job. Or it can be the starting point of an entire career. At the Instituto Jovem Técnico, we work to make it the second one.
Here you learn a real profession, with classes, hands-on practice inside a company and a team that follows your development: not only what you learn, but also how you are doing and what you need to go further. You are a hired apprentice, with a salary and rights, and you are part of a class that lives all of this by your side.
It is the chance to grow with structure, with support and with a next step already planned. And the best part: you don’t need any experience to start. You just need to want it.
Your journey with the IJT. From sign-up to joining a class, you have support at every step.

Who can take part
The apprenticeship program is for young people aged 14 to 24 who want to take their first step into working life. For people with disabilities, there is no age limit. The opportunity is for everyone who wants to learn and grow.
You don’t need experience, or to know exactly which path to follow. You need the will to learn and the drive to come along with us. We build the rest together, step by step.
Still have questions?
Do I need experience to sign up?
No. The program was made precisely for people who are just starting out. What matters is your will to learn. We provide the technical training.
Is it a real job? Will I get paid?
Yes. You are hired as an apprentice, with a formal employment record, a salary and all the rights provided by law, while you learn a profession.
And after the program ends?
The end of the program is a beginning. Those who stand out earn an undergraduate scholarship, and the technical training opens doors to keep growing in your career.
