What Escola Técnica Unimontes does

Escola Técnica Unimontes (officially Escola Técnica de Saúde — ETS, operating within the Centro de Educação Profissional e Tecnológica — CEPT) is a public technical education institution in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil, established in 1993 by Portaria nº 339/1993 as part of the state public university Universidade Estadual de Montes Claros (Unimontes). It delivers more than 20 authorized technical courses spanning health (nursing, pharmacy, radiology, clinical analysis, oral health, cytotechnology, health surveillance), technology (systems development, computer networks, geoprocessing, biotechnology), agribusiness (fruit growing, beekeeping, agribusiness), industrial and renewable-energy tracks (production planning, biomedical equipment, renewable energy systems), and administration. Courses are offered both in person across 13–19 municipalities in northern Minas Gerais (including Montes Claros, Janaúba, Januária, Bocaiúva, Brasília de Minas, Capelinha, Salinas, Taiobeiras, Almenara, Manga) and via distance learning through a virtual learning environment (AVA), with credentialing handled by an online certificate generation and public validation system. The institution participates in federal and state workforce-development programs — PRONATEC, Mediotec, Programa Novos Caminhos, Trilhas de Futuro, Mulheres Mil, Caminhos do Cuidado — and is a member of the Rede de Escolas Técnicas do SUS (RET-SUS) under Portaria nº 2.651/2017. As a public state entity, it generates no tuition revenue; all programming is funded through public-sector appropriations and government program budgets, with students enrolled via public selective processes (Processos Seletivos). The GTM motion is community-led, channeled through the institutional website, Instagram (@cept.unimontes), WhatsApp, and formal government-program selection notices.
