The scholarships for the online course offered by DEVMEDIA, the largest platform for training programmers in the country, provide more than 1,000 hours, more than 10,000 practical exercises and 40 real projects. In addition to the certificate, students will have a portfolio of projects to present to the market. \u201cFor Brazil to develop sustainably, technology and well-trained technology professionals are essential.

This is what we advocate and want to stimulate regionally with these scholarships,\u201d said CEBDS president Marina Grossi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
