The strategic plan is built around four key pillars: Planet, People, Peace and Partnerships and draws from the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As part  of its people pillars, Hitachi has set clear targets on supporting SDG 4 (quality education), reflected in this partnership. For the technical cooperation agreement with SENAI, the company will supply the complete structure of 2 laboratories. The schools, Senai Almirante Tamandaré, in São Bernardo do Campo (SP) and Senai Jorge Mahfuz in Pirituba (SP), will receive state-of-the-art equipment and software to develop activities in Asset Management, Cybersecurity, Networks and communication protocols, Industry 4.0, and Protection and Control Systems.

Free technical-level courses will be offered to high school students, in addition to paid undergraduate, graduate, and specialization courses for professionals in the power sector and industry.
