Bosch has started the application process for 64 positions in its Young Apprentice Program in the metropolitan area of Campinas, São Paulo state. Eligible young people must be between 16 and 22 years old, and the application period will end this Friday, the 18th. The start of activities is scheduled for January 2027.
The program offers three distinct technical specializations: Mechatronics, Manufacturing (which covers the operation of mechanical manufacturing processes), and Digital Solutions. Applications are free and must be made exclusively through the official program page, where educational prerequisites and selection phases are also detailed.
The company clarified that proficiency in English is not a mandatory requirement nor a disqualifying factor. According to Bosch, the retention rate of students who complete the program exceeds 90%, indicating that most apprentices are hired after graduation.
The selection process comprises three stages. Initially, candidates take a general knowledge test covering topics such as mathematics, logical reasoning, basic IT, and textual comprehension. Next, there will be a group dynamic focused on assessing social skills. The final phase consists of an individual interview conducted by the training program instructors.
The course is taught by the Technical Apprenticeship School (ETS), which is maintained by Bosch in collaboration with Senai since 1960. The company reported that approximately 3,500 students have already been trained by the school, which has units located in Campinas, Curitiba, and Joinville.
Henrique Doná, Bosch Brazil's technical training manager, emphasized that the program plays a fundamental role in both the professional development and personal growth of young people. He added that the curricula are regularly reviewed to keep pace with transformations in the industrial sector, prioritizing future market needs.
The content of the classes reflects this adaptation. Previously, the first course of the partnership prepared mechanical adjusters, a function that has been discontinued. Currently, the curriculum is predominantly composed of automation, embedded systems, and software, areas essential for producing components intended for electrified and connected vehicles.
The investment in internal training is linked to the size of the Bosch Group's Brazilian operation, which has been active in the country for over seven decades. In Brazil, the Bosch Group employs about 11,000 employees and reported a net revenue of R$ 9.4 billion in 2025, according to the company's financial statements. A significant portion of this result comes from the Mobility division, responsible for manufacturing braking systems, sensors, injection, and embedded electronics for established automakers in the national territory.
