Brazilian information technology companies have an ongoing problem: how to fill vacant professional IT positions that remain open year after year. Essentially, the country’s universities and technical schools are graduating fewer professionals than the market requires. And the information and communications technology (ICT) sector needs more skilled, entry-level professionals.

This situation may become even worse. The Brazilian Association of Information Technology and Communication (Brasscom) estimates that the country’s revenues from information technology and communications will reach U.S.$430 billion by 2022, raising the country to third place worldwide. Currently, Brazil is ranked fifth with revenues of $212 billion.
