In a talent-hungry market, structured hands-on training becomes a competitive advantage, and that's part of Visionnaire's DNA
If you lead IT, Product, or Business, you’ve
likely felt the same daily challenge: demands keep growing, technology changes fast, and the most standout professionals always
seem one “yes” away from a competitor. The talent war has become routine. And when hiring well gets difficult
(or simply too expensive), the bill shows up as delays, rework, reliance on a handful of specialists, and projects that take
too long to generate value.
That’s when training stops being a perk and
becomes strategy. Capacitating and developing people shorten the learning curve, boosts productivity, improves delivery quality,
and strengthens retention because great professionals don’t want salary alone: they want challenges, growth, and a place
where they truly learn. In the end, the company moves faster without sacrificing consistency. And in technology, speed with
quality is what separates leaders from those who are always catching up.
Training isn’t a new service for Visionnaire,
it’s our origin
Visionnaire was born, quite literally, inside an
academic environment. In 1995, three technology consultants and professors joined forces to develop joint projects in partnership
with the university where they worked (Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná — PUCPR). Soon after, the company
was officially founded on June 10, 1996, keeping this connection with academia, research, and professional development as
part of how it operates. And this story matters, because it explains something the market quickly notices: Visionnaire didn’t
learn to train people because of a recent trend, we were founded with this gift.
When the company was founded, its name was Visionnaire
Consultoria e Informática (Visionnaire Consulting and IT), and its services included classes. Even as the company’s
positioning evolved and the name changed over time, the essence remained: developing people, expanding technical skillsets,
and turning knowledge into real delivery. The difference is that, as the market matured, the focus shifted from open classes
for the market to increasingly tailored programs inside companies, with technology applied to each operation’s context
and challenges.
Two case studies that prove Visionnaire can train
(and put talent into production)
Training is easy to promise and hard to prove. That’s
why it’s worth looking at concrete outcomes.
In one case, Visionnaire took part in a program
that trained more than 30 people in iOS mobile application development. In 2018, Scopus Desenvolvimento de Sistemas (Scopus
Systems Development), part of Grupo Bradesco (Bradesco Group), identified a shortage of professionals skilled in iOS development,
and something had to be done. That’s how the iOS Training Program was created, in partnership with PUCPR, running from
January to June 2019, with two very clear goals: train students and professionals in iOS and create employability for top-performing
participants, who could join projects at the partner companies.
The practical impact was immediate: by the end,
15 participants were ready and hired by Visionnaire and Bradesco to build iOS solutions. In other words, this wasn’t
“training for a certificate.” It was market-driven education, with standards, hands-on practice, and a real pathway
into projects. You can click here

Four years later, the initiative grew, and a lot.
With the acceleration of digital business in the post-pandemic era, it became clear that the learning track needed to stay
updated, modern, and more comprehensive. So Visionnaire, Bradesco, and PUCPR joined forces again, expanding the scope beyond
the Apple ecosystem. The Talent Attraction and Training Program (PAFT, in Portuguese) trained and certified around 100 people
in systems development, organized into five tracks focused on modern technologies.
The numbers show both scale and selectivity: in
the second edition, more than 600 people applied, with 102 approved, distributed across Front-End (25), Back-End (30), DevOps
(24), Android (10), and iOS (13). And the format preserved an essential element for accelerating maturity: classes strongly
oriented toward hands-on practice, with a large portion happening in labs. You can click here

Bridging academia and production software: a
trio that works
When you look at both programs, it becomes clear
what makes the difference: Visionnaire doesn’t see training as something separate from the real world. The company has
a track record of delivering systems in corporate environments since 1995 and, at the same time, maintains close ties with
academia, creating a rare combination: strong foundations and practical application.
In practice, PUCPR, Visionnaire, and Bradesco formed
an extremely effective trio to train more than a hundred people and connect them to real opportunities in high-demand projects.
This is the kind of initiative that helps companies solve a problem that can feel unsolvable, like not finding people who
are ready. In many scenarios, the smarter answer is different: develop the right people, the right way, for your specific
needs.
Your company can also create a tailored training
program
The good news is that this isn’t a privilege
reserved for big banks or massive initiatives. Businesses of any size and sector can count on Visionnaire to structure an
IT training program focused on results, whether to develop talent from scratch, accelerate existing teams, create a new digital
unit, reduce dependence on a few specialists, or update capabilities for a strategic technology.
Visionnaire designs and delivers training and immersion
programs with a practical focus on modern software, including customized training across a wide range of technologies, with
the option of partnering with universities to amplify learning. That means the training can be designed around your reality:
your stack, your maturity level, your delivery cadence, and your business goals, without a generic course that never turns
into productivity afterward.
If your challenge today is hiring, retaining, and
accelerating delivery without compromising quality, the breakthrough may be less about finding the perfect professional and
more about building a pathway to develop and evolve people with method. And when training becomes culture, the gain isn’t
just technical: it’s autonomy, consistency, and speed.
