As part of its people pillars, Hitachi has set clear targets on supporting SDG 4 (quality education), reflected in this partnership. For the technical cooperation agreement with SENAI, the company will supply the complete structure of 2 laboratories. The schools, Senai Almirante Tamandaré, in São Bernardo do Campo (SP) and Senai Jorge Mahfuz in Pirituba (SP), will receive state-of-the-art equipment and software to develop activities in Asset Management, Cybersecurity, Networks and communication protocols, Industry 4.0, and Protection and Control Systems.
“For us, it is essential to be partners with SENAI, an entity consolidated as an educational institution and recognized as a source of innovative and cutting-edge solutions. Especially in this project, whose main themes are the areas in which we also dedicate our expertise and technology”, says José Paiva, Country Managing Director of Hitachi Energy in Brazil.
With the start of activities scheduled for January 2023, Senai Almirante Tamandaré will serve more than 300 students a year. Free technical-level courses will be offered to high school students, in addition to paid undergraduate, graduate, and specialization courses for professionals in the power sector and industry.
