Callidus Academy Project Bringing a New Vision on Professional Training Related to the Industrial Pole of Manaus (PIM)

Abstract

The Callidus Academy is a project of the LUDUS ecosystem, from the State University of Amazonas, in partnership with the company CALLIDUS INDUSTRIA COMERCIO E SERVIÇOS DE PLACAS E COMPONENTES ELETRONICOS. To solve the problems of the PCB industry, the project carries out case studies with the research of causes and effects involved in the assembly and welding processes, training professionals in the areas of manufacturing and testing, involving topics such as SMT, Lean Manufacturing tools, Industry 4.0, welding metallurgy and testing of manufactured boards. The information technology area faces a shortage of professionals in Brazil, with an expected demand of 420,000 IT professionals by 2024. Skilled labor affects the Industrial Pole of Manaus (PIM), causing competition between companies for these professionals. To increase efficiency and productivity in the industry, reducing errors and redundancies in production, the Lean Manufacturing management system has been widely disseminated, with the application of concepts aimed at reducing waste and optimizing resources. These concepts are in line with the premises of the modern theory of Industry 4.0. Thus, to solve this problem, we started to train the professionals of the company Callidus, with the methods: “Learning by doing” and “Learning by interacting”. These methods are more effective when it comes to adults, as it makes training classes more interesting, less tiring, and easier for learning, making the student remain in training until the end. With this strategy, in the first year of the project alone, 135 students were trained.
