With investments of more than R$ 100 million, XP Educação, the educational arm of XP Inc., has just announced the XP faculty. In this first moment, there will be five different courses focused on technology (Information Systems, Data Science, Systems Development Analysis, Database and Cyber Defense) with a total of 400 students in their first public notice. Undergraduate students will have zero tuition for the entire course.
Paulo de Tarso, CEO of XP Educação, states that the creation of the college was based on the concept of “employer university” (university connected to the company, in a free translation). “Today, one of the biggest corporate problems is the lack of newly graduated professionals who are really qualified for the reality of work, he explains.
MBAs and Open Courses
In addition to graduation, XP Educação announces that the MBA program has been expanded and now offers more than 20 courses approved by the Ministry of Education (MEC), including two new courses: Data Science for Finance professionals and Customer Experience (CX) / Customer Success (CS).
Unlike graduation, MBAs will be paid. “Here, the objective is to offer those who have already graduated the possibility of a specialization of the highest quality level, with classes taught by some of the largest and most successful entrepreneurs and businessmen in the country”, explains Paulo de Tarso. XP Educação’s goal, with the new MBAs, is to jump from the current 3,000 students to around 10,000 by the end of the year.
In the field of open courses, XP Educação also launches a new platform composed of Bootcamps (44 modalities available in the areas of technology and innovation) – a practical and immersive learning format to form technical skills for the market faster than traditional teaching, mainly for those looking for a quality curriculum update – and 35 more free courses in the area of finance.
The platform is available through subscription, in which the student pays a monthly fee of R$ 65 and has access to all available courses.
As a subscriber, the student can enroll in different courses simultaneously and access the contents daily. In addition, subscribers have access to the Opportunities Radar, where they can apply for jobs in technology made available by major players in the technology area. The school expects to have more than 10,000 subscribers to the platform by the end of the year.
