Brazil will have to train an additional 2.2 million new professionals and requalify 11.8 million who are already on the market between 2025 and 2027 to meet industry demand over the next three years, totaling 14 million workers.
The projection – prepared by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI) – takes into account the growth of the economy and the job market.
According to the Industrial Work Map, among the areas and professions that will require the most qualification are: logistics and transport, construction, industrial operations, maintenance and repair and metal mechanics.
Job creation
The 2.2 million workers with new training must meet the pace of job creation and the replacement of workers who will leave the formal job market. Another 11.8 million employees will need training and development to update their skills in the roles they already perform in the industry and which are also demanded by other sectors in Brazil.
According to the study, among the new skills that will need to be acquired by workers already working in the industry are hard skills (technical skills such as mastery of machines, equipment and software), soft skills (behavioral skills such as critical thinking, emotional intelligence, creativity and innovation) and health and safety actions at work.
