São Paulo Leads Job Growth in 2025 as Praia Grande Launches New Workforce Training in 2026

São Paulo state played a crucial role in Brazil's labor market in 2025, generating 311,228 formal jobs—accounting for 25% of the country's total job creation. This equates to an average of 900 new job openings daily, according to data from Fundação Seade, based on the Ministry of Labor and Employment’s Caged statistics. This robust growth highlights São Paulo's strong economic activity and importance in national employment.

In response to such dynamic job creation, the city of Praia Grande, located within São Paulo state, has initiated the 2026 season of its Qualifica PG professional training program. The program has introduced two new free courses: Auxiliar Administrativo and Informática, aimed at equipping residents with key skills to enter or advance in the labor market. Registration is open until February 5, 2026, and classes will be held at Seai, Praia Grande's Secretariat of Institutional Affairs.

The Auxiliar Administrativo course offers 78 hours of in-person classes Monday through Friday, focusing on administrative routines and management concepts essential for the job market. Meanwhile, the Informática course provides 84 hours of training in Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, covering basic to advanced capabilities. These initiatives support São Paulo’s ongoing employment expansion by preparing the workforce to meet increasing demand and opportunities.
