Ternium's New Roberto Rocca Technical School Inaugurates in Brazil
Ternium, one of the leading steel manufacturers in Latin America, has officially launched the Roberto Rocca Technical School in Santa Cruz, located in the western zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This new educational institution is part of a broader strategy by the Techint Group to enhance technical education and empower the next generation of skilled workers in the region.
A New Era in Technical Education
The Roberto Rocca Technical School is set to offer two key areas of specialization: Electromechanics and Mechatronics. These fields are crucial for preparing students to thrive in today’s technologically advanced industries, with particular emphasis on automation and mechanical systems. By equipping students with these highly specialized skills, the school aims to fill a significant gap in the labor market, addressing the increasing demand for highly skilled technicians in Brazil's industrial sectors.
The school has the capacity to accommodate 576 students, providing modern facilities and access to cutting-edge resources. This will enable a hands-on learning environment, where students can engage in practical training and gain real-world experience, preparing them for their future careers in the workforce. The institution is committed to bridging the skills gap in Brazil by offering courses that align with industry standards, ensuring that graduates are job-ready.
Third in the Network: Expanding Education Across Latin America
This new technical school in Santa Cruz represents the third location within the Roberto Rocca Technical Schools network, which is managed by the Techint Group. The network, which has already established schools in Campana, Argentina, and Pesquería, Mexico, is part of Techint's ongoing commitment to advancing technical education in Latin America.
The Roberto Rocca Technical Schools are part of a larger initiative to ensure that students not only have access to technical training but also to the support and mentorship necessary to succeed in their careers. These schools work closely with local industries and businesses to ensure that their curriculum is aligned with the needs of the job market, giving students a competitive advantage in their professional endeavors.
The Role of Ternium and Techint in Education
The Techint Group, through its subsidiary Ternium, has long been a supporter of education and community development in Latin America. By investing in technical education, Ternium is helping to build a skilled workforce capable of supporting the region’s growing industrial sectors. The Roberto Rocca Technical Schools are just one example of how Techint is taking a hands-on approach to addressing the region’s educational and skills challenges.
In addition to providing quality education, Ternium’s involvement in these schools ensures that students will have the opportunity to connect with the company and its partners, opening doors to potential internships, apprenticeships, and full-time positions. This creates a pipeline for talent that is critical for the sustainable development of the industrial sector in Latin America.
A Vision for the Future
As industries continue to evolve and demand for skilled labor rises, initiatives like the Roberto Rocca Technical School in Brazil play a vital role in preparing students for the workforce. With its focus on Electromechanics and Mechatronics, the school is paving the way for students to enter fields that are shaping the future of industrial automation, robotics, and manufacturing technologies. The opening of this new school underscores Ternium’s dedication to contributing to Latin America's industrial growth by developing a highly capable, technically proficient workforce.
As Ternium continues to expand its Roberto Rocca Technical Schools network, the hope is that more students across the region will have access to high-quality education, providing them with the skills and opportunities needed to succeed in an increasingly globalized economy.
