Launched in October 2021, Potência Tech received more than 15 thousand applications and financed almost 3 thousand technology training scholarships.

“We realized that, when choosing scholarships, people had difficulty understanding what back end, full stack, front end, so the platform will now have a section to clarify what these professionals do”, explains Roberta Piozzi, education coordinator at iFood and Potência Tech.
In addition, Potência Tech will have a community so that its users can meet, discuss topics of interest and network. “More than a platform, we want to be a large community of talents from groups that are currently underrepresented to enhance their participation in the job market”, adds Roberta.
