Through this collaboration, the Cardano Foundation will conduct comprehensive training seminars for over 40,000 Petrobras employees, in collaboration with Petrobras University. These seminars will delve into the potential of blockchain technology and explore various avenues for its application. To ensure an engaging learning experience, participants will be able to partake in interactive quizzes on the topics covered. The initial rollout of the program included two seminars in the metaverse, focusing on cryptocurrency regulations in Brazil and globally. This initiative falls under the umbrella of the Cardano Academy educational program.
Upon completion of the course, Petrobras employees will receive a certificate attesting to their blockchain training. Additionally, the first 500 employees to participate in the Cardano Academy program will be rewarded with unique non-fungible tokens (NFTs) developed in collaboration with the Petrobras Education Council. These NFTs will serve as a tangible representation of participants’ progress, allowing them to track and celebrate their achievements.
“The partnership with Petrobras, a Fortune 500 company, exemplifies the eagerness of enterprises to embrace blockchain education. Moreover, this collaboration opens up new possibilities for the application of blockchain technology within the energy sector,” emphasized Frederik Gregaard, CEO of the Cardano Foundation.
In his pursuit of furthering Cardano’s growth, Gregaard has set a remarkable goal of attracting 1 billion users to the Cardano blockchain platform by 2026. As a step towards achieving this vision, Cardano established a Blockchain Academy in India in 2019 with the objective of training 2,500 developers.
