The Orange Hub, an initiative of the Program for the Training of Professionals of the Orange Juice Technology Community, consolidates its operations in Brazil with expressive numbers. Since its creation, in 2022, more than 400 people from the Tech area have already participated in the activities in the offices of FCamara — Brazilian Multinational of Technology and Innovation — and SGA, a company focused on cloud and cybersecurity of the FCamara group. Participants had the opportunity to experience the environment of development of technological solutions and count on the mentoring of the company’s specialists. So far, 11 of these participants have been hired by FCamara.
The project was created with the objective of bringing together, in a single space, both employees of partner companies and professionals interested in closely monitoring the entire development of projects — from the initial mapping to the implementation of solutions for large organizations. In addition, members of the Orange Juice community can participate in other initiatives, such as interactions in Discord, mentoring and live streaming, expanding their learning and networking opportunities. Applications can be made at any time throughout the year by the link https://tech.orangejuice.com.br/orangehub.
“FCamara’s mission is to actively contribute to the development of the Tech community. We believe that by sharing our experiences and learning with external professionals, we open doors for a true exchange of knowledge”, says Joel Backschat, Technical Fellow of FCamara. “This exchange is essential to strengthen the technology ecosystem as a whole, as well as bring new perspectives to our own projects. We are always open to anyone who wants to learn from us and, at the same time, present their ideas and experiences.”
success case
Leonardo Souza, full-stack developer at FCamara since November 2024, joined the company because of the doors that opened during his participation in the HUB. “I met Fcamara at an Orange Juice event in 2023, while I was a nutritionist and internet systems student at Fatec. 1.5 year. In this period, I developed projects, including volunteers, who caught the attention of the company. After months of dedication, I was hired”, says the employee.
Coworking is available at the offices of FCamara, in São Paulo and Santos (SP), and SGA, in Belo Horizonte (MG).
international expansion
Now, the initiative will expand internationally. The hub will be implemented at the FCamara office in Portugal with the support of Paulo Felix, the company’s customer service director in the European country..
“The idea is to provide the talents of Portugal and other countries in Europe with the chance to follow our way of working, as well as attract talents that complement our teams, adding ideas and solutions that are increasingly differentiated to the market”, explains Felix.
Whether in Brazil or Portugal, Orange Hub follows the purpose of exchanging knowledge and experiences. While the project offers possibilities for members of the technology community to approach the practical vision of all phases of the development of a project, FCamara opens to learn what market talents have to add and open paths for the arrival of new employees to the company or the market.
Orange Juice: Initiative umbrella
Created in 2017, Orange Juice trains technology professionals and already has more than 9,000 members. The community offers a platform with free study trails, in addition to an area dedicated to the creation of Individual Development Plans (PDI), which already has more than 18,000 registrations. After training more than 600 professionals through the training program in partnership with FCamara, the initiative was consolidated as a catalyst in the development of talents for the technology market.
About 20 graduates were hired by FCamara through Orange Juice in the last edition of the training program in 2024, and dozens of other participants who passed through the program were able to participate in the company’s international projects.
The program stands out for promoting not only technical learning, but also the development of behavioral skills, preparing professionals to meet market demands. In a community survey, 40% of the members claimed to be in the process of career migration, highlighting the impact of Orange Juice on the professional transformation of its participants.
