Natixis in Portugal has opened applications for the fifth edition of its COBOL Academy, a two-month reskilling program designed for professionals with backgrounds in exact sciences or technology, and fluent in English and French (minimum B2 level). The initiative will take place in Porto, starting July 14th, with applications open until May 23rd.
Participants will receive specialized COBOL training, a training grant, and the chance to join Natixis afterward — with 90% of past participants integrated into the company. HR Director Maurício Marques emphasizes the academy’s role in enabling career transitions and supporting the tech ecosystem.
