Results
A total of 29 participants were hired by Visionnaire and Bradesco to work on specific
projects for the financial institution. The program aimed to internalize the best performers into Bradesco after a period.
As a result, many of these 29 were insourced and continued their careers at the institution, demonstrating the program's evolution
from the first to the second edition.
Technologies
The classes were practical, mainly held in PUCPR’s computer labs, covering topics for detailed participant training, including:
- Financial Products
- Site Reliability Engineering (S.R.E.)
- Management by Indicators
- Lean and Agile
- Performance
- Quantum Computing and Security
- Secure Development
- Agile, PMBok, and Management
- Processes and Procedures
- Motivation and Continuous Learning.
Detailed Problem
The rapid evolution of technologies requires constant skill updates, making it challenging
to train a workforce at the same pace. Moreover, intense competition among companies for technical talent has led to a shortage
of experienced and qualified professionals. In summary, the rising demand for software development and IT professionals in
recent years has been impacted by rapid technological transformation and market needs, resulting in a significant talent shortage.
This shortage is even more notable for iOS development, given the higher cost of Apple devices.
This was the scenario faced by Scopus Development Systems, part of the Bradesco Group,
in 2018. Observing the shortage of skilled professionals for iOS application development, the two organizations needed to
address the situation, and the first edition of the Talent Attraction and Training Program (then called iOS Training Program)
was a huge success.
Four years later, a new edition of the initiative was necessary to keep it updated,
modern, and innovative. After the 2020 pandemic, digital businesses grew even more worldwide, prompting Visionnaire and Bradesco,
in partnership with PUCPR, to launch the Talent Attraction and Training Program, aiming to attract and train professionals
in modern technologies and offer employability opportunities to outstanding participants through projects at Bradesco and
Visionnaire. The second edition expanded to cover more technologies beyond iOS.
Detailed Solution
Held in Curitiba, Paraná, the Talent Attraction and Training Program was free
for participants and open to all interested students from PUCPR, other universities, and already employed non-students.
A selection process conducted by PUCPR chose program participants from over 600 applicants,
prioritizing those available during business hours due to the program’s employability goal. The process included an
initial test followed by interviews. During the initial selection, PUCPR suggested the best curriculum considering the majority’s
availability.
Visionnaire, Bradesco, and PUCPR promoted progress meetings with students, where representatives
discussed class progress with participants. We believe the initiative should go beyond classrooms, involving listening to
participants and tracking their progress, as well as sharing course progress overall. There was also a ceremony to deliver
course completion certificates, available both digitally and physically.
