Registrations for free technical courses in Paraná end this Tuesday (10)

The deadline for registration for the free technical courses of the Paraná state educational network ends on Tuesday (10). Those interested in starting a vocational training in 2027 must register exclusively for the Student Area, available on the portal of the State Secretariat of Education (Seed-PR). This year, candidates have the possibility to select up to two course options.

Applications began on October 1st and are open to students from different educational networks. The initiative seeks to broaden access to vocational qualifications and prepare young people and adults for labour market opportunities.

In total, more than 50 technical courses are offered, distributed in 12 technological axes. Among the options are Administration, System Development, Agricultural, Nursing, Gastronomy and Occupational Safety. There are also trainings in the areas of Infrastructure, Industrial Production and Tourism.

The availability of the courses varies according to the municipality and the educational institution. All training courses have a minimum workload of 800 hours.

Technical courses offer two modalities

The free technical courses of Paraná are available in two modalities, according to the education of the candidates.

The integrated modality is intended for students who are completing the 9th year of Elementary Education. In this format, students perform the Ensino Médio together with technical training, combining the disciplines of educação básica with professional content.

The subsequent modality serves those who have completed the Ensino Médio and wish to achieve a technical qualification. In this option, the student takes only the specific disciplines of vocational training.

According to Adriana Kampa, technical coordinator of the Department of Professional Education of Seed-PR, the possibility of choosing two formations represents an important novelty in the selection process.

“Those interested can register online through the Student Area, having the unprecedented advantage of selecting up to two different course options,” he points out.

Professional education registers growth in Paraná

The Professional and Technological Education (PTE) has been showing significant growth in the state education network.

According to a survey released by Seed-PR in April, the Paraná reached 137,000 enrolments in technical courses in 2026, distributed by 805 state schools.

The number represents more than double the approximately 66,000 students registered in 2021, demonstrating the expansion of the professional qualification offer in the state.

The courses are organized considering the economic characteristics and the needs of the labor market of each region, seeking to approximate school education to employment opportunities.

In addition, the Government of Paraná maintains initiatives such as the Employability Connection program, developed in partnership with the productive sector to facilitate student access to internships and professional learning programs.

How to register?

Interested parties should access the Student Area, on the official portal of the State Secretariat for Education of Paraná, and register by Tuesday (10 November).

The procedure is free and allows you to indicate up to two course options.

Those who have doubts can seek a state school that offers Professional and Technological Education to receive guidance on the training available in the municipality and the stages of the selection process.

The complete list of courses can be consulted on the Professional and Technological Education page of Seed-PR.
