Between 6 and 14 March 2006 SENAI carried out the fourth edition of the Knowledge Olympics which gathered teachers and students of SENAI for a talent and creativity competition, with special emphasis on the quality of Vocational Education in training for the labour market.
The 30,500 square metres of the covered area of the Convention Centre of Pernambuco housed bureaus, laboratories and industrial kitchens where the students selected during the State stage sat for a test in 48 occupations of the technological areas of mechanics, food and information technology, among others. Simultaneously, SENAI students and students who won international tournaments carried out demonstrations in 13 industrial, commercial and service areas.
Nearly 100 thousand visitors attended this event which, apart from competencies, promoted parallel events such as Brazil Space of Vocational Education.
