Orange Hub, coworking in partnership with FCamara, adds 400 participants and expands to Portugal

The Orange Hub, an initiative of the training program for professionals from the Orange Juice technology community, consolidates its operations in Brazil with significant numbers. Since its creation in 2022, more than 400 people from the tech area have already participated in the activities at the offices of FCamara 1 Brazilian multinational technology and innovation & SGA, a company focused on cloud and cybersecurity of the FCamara Group. Participants had the opportunity to experience the environment of developing technological solutions and count on the mentorship of the company's experts. To date, 11 of these participants have been hired by FCamara.

The project was created with the aim of bringing together, in a single space, both employees of partner companies and professionals interested in closely monitoring all the development of projects 5 from 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 on Discord, mentoring and live broadcasts, expanding their learning and networking opportunities. Registration can be made at any time throughout the year by the link https://tech.orangejuice.com.br/orangehub. 

“A FCamara's mission is to actively contribute to the development of the tech community. We believe that by sharing our experiences and learnings with external professionals, we open doors to 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 bringing new perspectives to our own projects.We are always open doors for those who want 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 he was a nutritionist and Internet Systems student at FATEC. I took the opportunity to attend coworking on Thursdays to study and network, attending the space for a 1.5 year. During this period, I developed projects, including volunteers, which caught the company's attention. After months of dedication, I was hired, the collaborator says. 

Coworking is available at FCamara offices in Sao Paulo and Santos (SP), and SGA in Belo Horizonte (MG).

International expansion 

Now, the initiative will expand internationally.The hub will be implemented in the FCamara office in Portugal with the support of Paulo Felix, director of Services Clients of the company in the European country. 

“The idea is to provide talents from Portugal and other European countries the chance to follow our way of working, as well as attract talents that complement our teams, adding ideas and increasingly differentiated solutions to the” market, explains Felix.

Whether in Brazil or Portugal, the Orange Hub follows the purpose of exchanging knowledge and experiences. While the project offers the possibilities for members of the technology community to approach the practical vision of all phases of the development of a project, FCamara opens to know what the talents of the market have to add and open paths for the arrival of new employees to the company or the market.

Orange Juice: umbrella of the initiative

Created in 2017, Orange Juice trains technology professionals and already has more than 9 thousand members. The community offers a platform with free study trails, as well as an area dedicated to the creation of Individual Development Plans (IDPs), which already has more than 18 thousand registrations. After training more than 600 professionals through the Training Program in partnership with FCamara, the initiative has consolidated itself 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 have gone through the program were able to participate in international projects of the company.

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 survey conducted in the community, 40% of members said they were in the process of career migration, highlighting the impact of Orange Juice in the professional transformation of its participants.
