We are bringing to ACATE a training program that is unprecedented in Southern Brazil. These young people will be able to connect with the state’s major development agendas.”
Data and AI Degree Program
The second class of the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence degree program began classes this month in the UniSenai classroom set up at CIA Primavera.
The class that started in 2025, which had classes at the Senai/SC unit on SC-401, in Florianópolis, will also move to the new space. The goal is to bring students closer to the innovation environment and technology companies.
The program is in-person, lasts four years, and focuses on developing solutions for data storage and processing, information analysis to support decision-making, and the implementation of advanced artificial intelligence models. The training includes projects with companies, career mentorship, and entrepreneurship practices.
