Renewable Energy Jobs in Brazil - Career Opportunities and Challenges

Free Webinar

Thursday, October 24, 2024 I 11:00am BRT / 4:00pm CET I Webinar Language: Portuguese

The transition to renewable energy is creating a boom in green jobs. Brazil is one of the largest job creators in this segment, and with this pole position the opportunities, but also the challenges, are growing.

New energy sources require not only new equipment and innovative technologies. They also require people to operate them. To properly utilize the new energy sources, the largest expected job gains are in electrical efficiency, power generation, and the automotive sector.

In this webinar, we would like to highlight the opportunities and challenges facing potential employers and employees in the renewable energy sector in Brazil.

Both the recording and the presentation will be made available to all registrants after the webinar.
