Company finance 5000 Brazilian students in courses in the area of oil and energy abroad
 
Petrobras in the next six years will offer scholarships for 5000 Brazilian students abroad to specialize in areas related to the oil industry, natural gas, energy and biofuels. The plan of Petrobras, the amount of R$ 320.9 million, was approved by the National Petroleum Agency (ANP), said on Monday its own regulator in a statement.

The project goal is to meet part of the growing Brazilian demand for skilled labor in strategic areas. Petrobras expects future hiring thousands of employees to start operation of the pre-salt. According to ANP, Petrobras plan provides for the grant between 2012 and 2017 to 2754 scholarships for undergraduate students and 1,901 for doctoral students in the sandwich mode - in which the scholar studying abroad for up to 12 months and returns to the country for continue travel.

The other 345 scholarships will be awarded their doctorates who intend to carry out in full (four years) abroad. In addition to funding the cost of studies, grantees will receive round trip tickets, help to settle abroad and health insurance. The plan of scholarships for the oil company is part of Science Without Borders, a program launched last December by President Rousseff and that 2014 will benefit 101,000 university students. These grants, 75,000 will be funded by government and 26,000 by private companies.

The government has already signed agreements with different countries including the United States, France and UK universities to offer their seats to Brazilian students. Petrobras was claiming before the ANP the ability to allocate their scholarships part of the funds which by law have to invest in research in Brazil. A clause of the oil concessions in Brazil provides for companies to invest up to 1% of its revenue on research projects, developing innovation, science and technology. The ANP accepted the arguments of the company.

Last week, Petrobras had already announced that 11,000 jobs will offer free courses in oil and gas in different cities of the country to train skilled labor in the sector that can be contracted in future competitions.
